Fried Chicken Strips Fries Recipe

Cut the Chicken

Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Bread the Chicken Strips

Coat each chicken strip first in flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.

Heat Oil

In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Chicken

Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain Excess Oil

Remove the fried chicken strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Cut the Potatoes

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

Soak the Fries

Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Dry the Potatoes

Drain and thoroughly dry the soaked potatoes with paper towels.

Heat Oil for Fries

In a separate frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add the dried potato strips into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Season the Fries

Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately while hot.

Plate and Serve

Serve the hot fried chicken strips alongside crispy fries. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
