Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.
Season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each chicken strip first in the flour, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently to ensure they stick.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil’s temperature.
Fry the chicken strips in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked chicken onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To prepare the peanut dipping sauce, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and water in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if needed.
Serve the crispy chicken strips warm with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Optionally, sprinkle the sauce with chopped peanuts for extra texture.
