Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Set up a breading station: In one bowl, pour the flour, in another bowl, crack and beat the eggs, and in a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Breading
- Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then into the eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture for even coating.
Cooking
- Carefully drop the breaded chicken fingers into the hot oil, cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about five minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the strips from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or honey mustard.
Notes
For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken strips. Healthier option: Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for two months.
