Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for crispy chicken strips:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound 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
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use panko for extra crispiness)
- Cooking oil (vegetable oil or canola oil) for frying
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (to keep the cooked chicken warm while preparing the rest).
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Finally, coat the chicken strip with breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Keep the cooked chicken strips warm in the preheated oven while you finish frying the remaining batches.
Serve the crispy chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing. Enjoy!
