Cooking

Bread the chicken
Take each chicken strip and dip it into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the breaded chicken fingers on a plate.

Heat the oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the chicken fingers
Carefully add the breaded chicken fingers to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
