1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by washing and patting dry the chicken breast. Cut the chicken into strips that are about 1 inch wide. Set aside.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: in the first bowl, add the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
3
Bread the Chicken
Take a piece of chicken and coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in breadcrumbs, pressing slightly to adhere. Repeat this process for all chicken strips.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it bubbles and browns, it’s ready.
5
Fry the Chicken Fingers
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken fingers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6
Serve
Once all chicken fingers are cooked, serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
