Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size. Season the pieces with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Prepare the Breading Stations
In a shallow bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Bread the Chicken
Take each piece of marinated chicken, first dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all chicken pieces are breaded.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying by testing with a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the Chicken Dippers
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken dippers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Dipping Sauce

Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Stir until well blended, and adjust the hot sauce to taste if desired.
