Ingredients

  • 4 medium chicken breasts
  • 2 large eggs
  • oil for deep frying

Flour Crumb Mixture

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup Panko crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • tablespoons seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts into lengthwise strips no thicker than ½-inch. If needed, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to the desired thickness. You should have 4-6 strips per chicken breast.
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the flour crumb mixture in a medium-sized bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dip one chicken strip into the flour crumb mixture and cover completely. Then dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then back into the flour crumb mixture for a second coat.
  • Place the coated chicken strip on the baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Place the baking sheet full of chicken in the fridge for half an hour.
  • Place the oil in a deep skillet and preheat to 365°F.
  • Cook the chicken strips in batches, leaving enough space for the chicken to cook without touching. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. The chicken strips are ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Remove the cooked chicken strips and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve with your choice of sides and dipping sauce, and enjoy!
