Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano.

Breading

  1. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chicken fingers hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
