Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
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
Prepare the Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts into even strips and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season the Flour
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Make the Egg Wash
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken strip into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat well with breadcrumbs.
Fry Until Golden
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Drain & Serve
Transfer the crispy strips to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with:
Ranch dressing
Honey mustard
BBQ sauce
French fries or coleslaw
Tips for Extra Crispiness
Use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.
Let the coated chicken rest for 5 minutes before frying.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep the strips crispy.
Enjoy every crunchy, juicy bite!
