Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 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
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together.

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.

Step 7

Coat the chicken strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 8

Repeat steps 5–7 for all chicken strips and place them on a plate.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully place a few chicken strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 11

Fry each strip for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 12

Transfer the cooked chicken fingers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 13

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
