Method
Chicken Fingers
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide. This will help them cook evenly and create the perfect finger-sized pieces.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs and milk together in the second bowl, and mix the bread crumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

Bread the Chicken
Take each chicken strip, first coat it in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the bread crumb mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.
- 4
Heat Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it bubbles and browns quickly, it’s ready.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
