While fries bake, beat the 2 eggs in a shallow bowl. Place the 1 cup breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each of the 1 lb chicken strips into the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat the 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken strips in batches, without crowding, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
