🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Slice the chicken breasts into even strips, about 1 inch wide, and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and soy sauce until fully combined.

3. In a separate shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds (if using).

5. Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, coating it completely. Finally, press it into the panko-sesame mixture, ensuring an even coating.

6. Place the coated chicken strips on a plate or tray and let them rest for 5 minutes to help the breading adhere.

7. In a large skillet or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

8. Working in batches, fry the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

9. Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili, honey mustard, or soy-dipping sauce.
