Chicken Strips
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the strips are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and breadcrumbs. Make sure to keep the dishes in order: flour first, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
Breading and Cooking
- 3
Bread the Chicken Strips
Take each chicken strip and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
