Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each flour-coated chicken strip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the chicken strip in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere to the chicken.
Repeat the process with all the chicken strips.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken strips hot with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy!
Note: You can also bake the chicken strips in the oven if you prefer a healthier option. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the breaded chicken strips on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
