Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Breading
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Bread the Chicken
Take each marinated chicken strip and first coat it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to adhere. Repeat with all chicken strips.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
Working in batches, add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
