Cooking Instructions

  • Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.
  • Gather three bowls. Fill one with seasoned flour, the second with two beaten eggs, and the third with seasoned breadcrumbs.
  • Take each chicken strip and dip it into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
  • For frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry each strip for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), arrange chicken fingers on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Place the cooked chicken fingers on paper towels to drain excess oil and serve warm with dipping sauces.

Notes
