CRISPY CHICKEN STRIPS

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (about 450g) chicken breast tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Cooking oil for frying (vegetable oil or canola oil works well)

Instructions:

1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
4. Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, making sure it’s well coated.
5. Once the chicken strip is coated in the egg mixture, dredge it once again in the flour mixture. Press the flour onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
6. Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Use tongs to remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. Serve the crispy chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
