Chicken Fingers

Method

Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Place on a plate.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the soaked potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
