Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with ranch dressing and BBQ sauce for dipping.
