Chicken Fingers

Method

Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Your Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken strips on a plate.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken strips in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 8

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
