CRISPY CHICKEN STRIPS

Crispy chicken strips are a popular and delicious snack or meal option. They typically consist of boneless chicken pieces that are breaded and deep-fried to achieve a crispy, golden-brown coating. Here’s a basic recipe to make your own crispy chicken strips at home:

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko breadcrumbs work well for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

Cooking oil (vegetable oil or canola oil) for frying

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken into strips or nugget-sized pieces. Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and paprika if desired.

Set up a breading station: In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, whisk the eggs in another, and put the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

Bread the chicken strips: Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, making sure it’s coated evenly. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the strip in breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well. Repeat this process for all the chicken strips …
