Fried Chicken Strips

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch wide strips. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Set up a dredging station: place 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, beat 2 eggs in a second, and mix 1.5 cups breadcrumbs with 1 tsp garlic powder in a third.

3. 3

   Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press gently so the coating sticks.

4. 4

   Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a breadcrumb—it should sizzle.

5. 5

   Fry the strips in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
