Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips or tenders, about 1-inch wide. Place them in a bowl, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Breading
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
Prepare a breading station by placing three shallow bowls next to each other. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the Chicken
Take each marinated chicken strip, dredge it in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Set breaded strips aside on a plate.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 5-7 minutes.

Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
