Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Arrange three shallow dishes: first with 1 cup flour, second with 2 beaten eggs, third with 1 cup panko, ½ cup Parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Take each chicken strip and thoroughly dust it with flour, ensuring complete coverage.
- Submerge the floured chicken into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the egg-coated chicken through the seasoned panko mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere firmly.
- Pour 1 cup vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat to precisely 350°F, monitoring temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
- Carefully lower chicken strips into hot oil, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until exterior turns deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer fried chicken to paper towel-lined plate, letting excess oil drain completely.
- Repeat frying process with remaining chicken strips, maintaining consistent oil temperature.
- Plate hot crispy chicken fries immediately and serve with preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use cold chicken strips straight from the fridge for better coating adhesion and crispier results.
- Press the panko coating firmly onto each chicken strip to create a thicker, crunchier exterior.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour and use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
- Pat the chicken strips completely dry before breading to help the coating stick and prevent soggy fries.
