Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Chicken Tenderloins, cut into strips
  • 150 g Breadcrumbs
  • 100 g Plain Flour
  • 2 Eggs Beaten
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Oil For frying

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  • Take each chicken strip and coat it with the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs by pressing them onto the chicken.
  • Repeat the coating process with all the chicken strips.
  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the chicken strips in the oil until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Once done, drain the excess oil from the chicken strips by placing them on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve the chicken strips while still hot, along with your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • To ensure even cooking, try to make the chicken strips of the same size.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste by adding more or less of the spices.
  • To complete the meal, pair the chicken strips with a side salad or French fries.
  • If you want to make a healthier version of these chicken strips, bake them in the oven at 200°C for 20-25 minutes.
