Chicken
Dredging
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- Prepare the chicken strips: Pat the chicken strips dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured chicken strip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Place coated strips on a plate or tray.
- Cook the chicken strips: For frying: heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). For baking: preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place coated chicken strips on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and cooked through.
- Drain and serve: If fried, place cooked strips on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchiness.
- Ensure oil temperature stays between 350-375°F for perfect frying results.
- For a healthier option, baking is recommended.
- Chicken strips thickness should be uniform to ensure even cooking.
- Can be served as a main dish or appetizer.
