Coat the Chicken Strips
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the whisked eggs, and finally, coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Fry the Chicken Strips
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
