Crispy Chicken Strips Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Dip the chicken strips into the flour mixture, coating them evenly.
  2. Coat the Chicken:
    • In another shallow dish, beat the egg. Dip the floured chicken strips into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.
    • Roll the egg-coated chicken strips in the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
  3. Fry the Chicken:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
    • Fry the chicken strips in batches for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Drain and Serve:
    • Remove the cooked chicken strips from the oil and drain on paper towels.
    • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Tips:

  • For extra crispy chicken strips, double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture and egg before breading.
  • To avoid greasy chicken, make sure the oil is at the correct temperature and don’t overcrowd the pan.
  • You can also bake the chicken strips in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Enjoy your homemade crispy chicken strips!
