Chicken Strips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the second bowl, beat the two large eggs. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken Strips

    Coat each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test this by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and browns quickly, the oil is ready.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Strips

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
