Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide, and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Pat the chicken strips dry with paper towels. Start by dredging a strip in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 7
Finally, coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs. Repeat with remaining chicken strips.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Carefully fry the chicken fingers in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Remove the cooked chicken fingers and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 11
Serve the chicken fingers warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
