Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, coating it evenly. Next, dip it into the eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Strips

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
