Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for crispy chicken strips:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (about 450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use plain or seasoned)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (vegetable oil works well)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coating:
- In three separate shallow bowls or plates, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Season the Chicken:
- Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Chicken:
- Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken strip into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Finally, coat the chicken strip in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken strips.
- Set Up for Frying:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure there’s enough oil to submerge the chicken strips halfway when frying.
- Fry the Chicken Strips:
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken strips into the pan. Don’t overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
- Fry the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165Β°F (75Β°C).
- Drain and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
Enjoy your homemade crispy chicken strips! They’re perfect for dipping and sharing with friends and family.
