Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef’s knife
  • 3 shallow bowls
  • deep fryer or heavy skillet
  • Cooking thermometer
  • Tongs
  • Paper Towels

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1 pound, cut into fries-shaped strips (3 3/4 in × 1/2 in × 1/4 in)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1.25 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1.25 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Trim the chicken breasts and slice each into strips about 3 3/4 inches long, 1/2 inch wide, and 1/4 inch thick; avoid slicing thinner than 1/4 inch.
  • Set up three shallow bowls: place the flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in the third.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F (use a cooking thermometer) and maintain that temperature.
  • Working in batches, dredge each chicken strip in flour and shake off excess.
  • Dip the floured strip into the beaten eggs, coating completely, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture so the crumbs adhere.
  • Carefully lower the coated strips into the hot oil using tongs and fry for 4–5 minutes per batch, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken fries with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, then serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Cut strips evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Use a thermometer to keep oil at 350°F.
  • Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the oil.
  • Press breadcrumbs firmly so they stick.
