Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cut the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips (fries).
