Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
Step 4
In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 7
Press the chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Step 8
Place the coated chicken strips on a plate or tray and repeat the process with the remaining pieces.
Step 9
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 10
Fry the chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each strip for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
Step 11
Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 12
Serve the crunchy chicken strips hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
