CRISPY CHICKEN STRIPS
Introduction
Crispy chicken strips are golden on the outside and juicy on the inside. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or main dish, they’re easy to make at home and taste even better than takeout.
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
2 cups breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into long strips.
In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Fry the chicken strips in batches for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Method
Use a three-step breading process to ensure maximum crispiness: dry coating, wet coating, then breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil without overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
