What makes these The Best Crispy Chicken Strips

A combination of trying for many years to get them just right, that’s what.  I have been making chicken strips for my kids for a whole lot of years now and this particular recipe is the best one so far.  Let’s take a little look how it’s done.

• Use chicken tenders –   These work great for this recipe. They are the perfect size, coat easily and fry fast!
• A fantastic seasoning blend – Next, the seasoning has to be just right.  If you do decide to make them, don’t skip on the seasoning. 
• Double coating on the chicken – And last but most certainly not least, the double dipping in the bread crumb mixture.  Essential!!!  It give them that extra crunch and honestly the chicken even more tender.  Oh and one more thing that I almost forgot, please used store bought fine bread crumbs.  I know it sounds insane as I promote making everything yourself.  Some things are just better store bought.  Fact!

Ingredients

• Chicken – I used chicken 1 lb of chicken tenders for this recipe.
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. On a large plate or bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Pat dry your chicken and then dip each piece into the egg, coat in the bread crumbs. Then repeat by dipping in egg and coating in bread crumbs again. Repeat for all chicken and place on a plate.
3. In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat about 2 inches of the oil over medium high heat for about 5 minutes. Put the chicken pieces in the hot oil and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Remove from pan and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat for remaining chicken. Serve straight away with your favourite dipping sauces.

Tips for Frying Chicken

• Type of oil – it’s best to use vegetable oil or canola oil for frying chicken. Avoid olive oil or avocado oil. Slowly heat the oil to 350 degrees to 375 degrees f. You can use an oil thermometer if you like to get an accurate reading.
• Check while cooking – if you notice your chicken is browning too quickly, you may need to decrease the temperature a little. Alternatively, if it isn’t sizzling, make sure to up the temperature. As the chicken keeps cooking, the oil gets hotter. When new chicken is added, it gets cooler. Maintain a temperature that feels right for that nice golden brown color.
• If your oil gets dirty –  add some additional oil to the pan to clarify it a little bit. Note that this will temporarily cool the temperature of the oil.

Substitutions

• Chicken– I like using chicken tenders for recipes like this. They are the perfect size and tender. You can use chicken cutlets or even chicken breasts cut into thick strips. Keep in mind, chicken cutlets are often thin and will cook quickly.
• Bread crumbs – I used very fine bread crumbs (store bought) for this recipe because I like that coating. If you like, you can use panko bread crumbs. I would avoid using homemade larger bread crumbs for this recipe. You will not get them crispy enough using a larger homemade crumb.
• Oil – This recipe used sunflower oil. You can use any type of vegetable oil or canola oil for these chicken tenders.
• Eggs – I used whole eggs to coat the eggs before dredged them through the crumb mixture. You can use just egg whites if you prefer.
