Sure, here’s a simple recipe for crispy chicken strips:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (about 450g) chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups breadcrumbs (you can use panko for extra crispiness)
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Roll the chicken strip in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
- Place the coated chicken strips on a plate or tray and repeat the process for all strips.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Use tongs to remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process for the remaining chicken strips.
Serve the crispy chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing. Enjoy your delicious homemade crispy chicken!
