Chicken Fingers Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Start by cutting the chicken breasts into strips, about 1 inch wide.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, whisked eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.

3. 3

   Bread the Chicken

   Take each chicken strip and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it in the whisked eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded strips on a plate.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

5. 5

   Fry the Chicken Fingers

   Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken fingers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
