Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken or thin chicken breast strips
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil (for frying) or cooking spray (for baking)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (if baking) or heat vegetable oil to 350°F (if frying).
- Cut chicken into thin strips or use ground chicken to form fry shapes.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Add garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and onion powder to the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip into the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- For baking: Place strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For frying: Fry the coated strips in hot oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use an air fryer at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
- Experiment with spices like cayenne or chili powder for a spicier version.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
