Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Press the chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Place the coated chicken strips on a plate or tray and repeat the process with the remaining pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Fry the chicken strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each strip for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crunchy chicken strips hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
