Method

For the Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add breaded chicken strips to the oil in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

For the Honey Mustard Dressing

  1. 6

    Mix Dressing Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

For the French Fries

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 8

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and pat dry the potato strips. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
