Main Ingredients

Cooking Oil

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the chicken strips. Mix well to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.

Breading

  1. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, add flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Take each chicken strip, coat it in flour first, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally cover it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each strip is well-coated.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Fry the Chicken Strips

    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.

  3. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
