Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 cm wide and 8β10 cm long. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Set up a traditional breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last containing breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Next, dip it into the egg wash and then into the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Place the coated strips on a plate while you finish breading the rest.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. The oil should reach 180Β°C (350Β°F) for frying.
Carefully lower the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil in batches, ensuring you donβt overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2β3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75Β°C or 165Β°F).
Remove the strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crunchy strips hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
