Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips or tender pieces, about 1 inch wide. Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Breading

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the two large eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and first coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken. Repeat until all chicken strips are breaded.

Fry the Chicken Fingers
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping a breadcrumb in; it should sizzle), carefully add the breaded chicken fingers in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
