Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into finger-sized strips, about 1 inch wide. Place the chicken strips in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs (whisk together until smooth), and the last with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese well in the last dish.

Bread the Chicken
Take each marinated chicken strip and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat for all chicken strips.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and brown quickly.

Fry the Chicken Fingerz
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 remove the chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Dipping Sauce
- 6
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine ketchup, honey, and Sriracha sauce. Mix well until fully combined. Adjust the Sriracha to taste for desired spice level.
