You can make restaurant-quality chicken strips in your own kitchen.
Fried chicken is a popular dish throughout the world. In the United States, the term "fried chicken" usually refers to chicken fried bone-in. Fried chicken strips, on the other hand, have all the flavor and crispness of fried chicken without the hassle of dealing with bones. The process of cooking fried chicken strips is not difficult; as long as you have the right oil and pan, you can easily prepare it in your own kitchen. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into strips. You can cut them to your own desired thickness; many cookbooks recommend slicing the chicken breasts into fourths.
2. Scramble some eggs in a large bowl. Crack the eggs into the bowl and use a fork to whisk them until the liquid is completely yellow.
3. Add milk, salt and pepper into the scrambled eggs. Add approximately 1 tsp. of milk for every egg you scrambled, and salt and pepper to taste. If you want to include other types of spices, such as paprika or cumin, add them to the egg mixture as well.
4. Pour flour into another large bowl, enough so that you cannot see the bottom of the bowl.
5. Prepare the frying oil in the frying pan. Turn the burner to medium and heat the pan without the oil. Slowly add in the oil. Add enough oil to completely cover the chicken strips when you add them later.
6. Dip the chicken strips in the egg mixture.
7. Dip the chicken strips that are covered in egg mixture into the flour. The flour should stick to the chicken strips so that all sides are covered.
8. Place the chicken strips in the frying pan.
9. Fry the chicken strips for seven minutes.
10. Turn the chicken strips over and fry for another seven minutes.
11. Remove the chicken strips from the pan, letting the oil drip off and back into the pan before placing them on a plate for consumption.
