Step 3: Coat the Chicken
- Take a chicken strip and coat it in the flour, making sure it is fully covered. Shake off the excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Finally, roll the chicken strip in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the coating sticks well. Repeat for all chicken strips.
Step 4: Fry the Chicken Strips
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small breadcrumb into the oil—if it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready.
- Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the chicken strips and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve your crispy chicken strips hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as:
- Ketchup
- Honey mustard
- Barbecue sauce
- Garlic mayo
- Spicy ranch
Tips for Extra Crispy Chicken Strips:
✔ Use Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko gives a crunchier texture than regular breadcrumbs.
✔ Double Coat: For an extra crispy texture, dip the strips in egg and breadcrumbs twice.
✔ Air-Frying Option: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
✔ Baking Option: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes, turning halfway.
