Chicken Preparation

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide. Place in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Breading Mixture

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading stations: 1. Place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl. 2. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. 3. In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and grated parmesan cheese.

  2. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Take each chicken strip and first dredge it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken strip with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Repeat for all chicken strips.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread in it; if it sizzles and bubbles, it’s ready.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips 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. Remove chicken fingers and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Once all chicken fingers are cooked, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
