Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 500 chicken breast, cut into strips
Coating Components:
- 100 breadcrumbs
- 50 flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
Seasonings and Cooking Needs:
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 2 cups oil for frying
Instructions
- Season chicken strips generously with salt and pepper, ensuring every surface gets coated with flavor.
- Spread flour across a plate and delicately roll each chicken strip through the powder, shaking off any excess.
- Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl and submerge floured strips, allowing excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
- Pour breadcrumbs onto a clean plate and gently press each egg-coated strip, covering completely with crumbs.
- Pour ½ inch vegetable oil into a heavy skillet, heating to 350°F over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place breaded strips into hot oil, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until exterior turns deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer goujons onto a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and maintain crispy texture.
- Let strips rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow coating to set and ensure maximum crunchiness.
Notes
- Use chicken tenderloins or breast meat cut into even strips for consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Choose panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchiness and ensure they’re seasoned with herbs or spices for more flavor.
- Pat chicken completely dry before coating to help breading stick better and create a crispier exterior.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for perfect golden-brown color without burning or undercooking the chicken.
