Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Trim the chicken breasts of any excess fat and cut them into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season the chicken strips evenly with the mixture.

Breading Mixture

  1. 3

    Set Up the Breading Stations

    In three shallow dishes, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning in the last.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Fry the Chicken Fingers

    Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken fingers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
