Method

Chicken Fingers Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread Chicken Strips

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Ensure each strip is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Chicken Fingers

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips or wedges.

  2. 7

    Soak Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

  3. 8

    Heat Oil for Fries

    In a separate large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 9

    Fry Potatoes

    Carefully place the soaked potatoes in the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.
