Chicken Strips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, coating well. Shake off excess flour, then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test this by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and browns quickly, the oil is ready.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken Strips

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
