Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 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 chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, prepare your breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Breading the Chicken

  1. 3

    Bread the Chicken Strips

    Take each chicken strip and first dip it into the flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the chicken fingers hot with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
