Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 150 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 cm wide and 8–10 cm long. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Set up a traditional breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last containing breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Next, dip it into the egg wash and then into the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Place the coated strips on a plate while you finish breading the rest.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. The oil should reach 180°C (350°F) for frying.

Step 5

Carefully lower the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, ensuring you don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).

Step 6

Remove the strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the crunchy strips hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
