Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off excess, dip into the eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere well.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
