Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Prepare Breading Stations
In three shallow dishes, set up your breading stations: In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs until well mixed. In the third dish, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Bread the Chicken Strips
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour first, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve
Serve the chicken fingers hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
