Crispy Chicken Strips for an Irresistible Crunch

Step by step method

• 

  Prepare the Chicken

  Slice the chicken breast into strips. In a large bowl, add the chicken along with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat each strip with the seasoning.

• 

  Add Water

  Pour water into the bowl until the chicken is submerged. Stir gently to ensure the seasoning disperses evenly in the water. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

• 

  Drain Excess Water

  After marinating, drain the excess water from the chicken. The chicken should have a nice light seasoning on it, ready for the next steps.

• 

  Prepare the Egg Mixture

  In a separate bowl, crack the eggs. Add ½ teaspoon of paprika and whisk until fully combined. This mixture will help the coating stick to the chicken.

• 

  Crush the Cornflakes

  In a food processor, crush the cornflakes into a coarse crumb. Place the crushed cornflakes in a shallow dish. Next to it, place a bowl with the flour.

• 

  Coat the Chicken in Flour

  Take each strip of chicken and coat it in the flour, ensuring it is evenly covered.

• 

  Dip in Egg Mixture

  Dip the floured chicken strips into the egg mixture. Let any excess egg drip off.

• 

  Coat with Cornflakes

  Transfer the chicken strip to the crushed cornflakes and press gently to coat all sides. Repeat this process for all chicken strips.

• 

  Fry the Chicken Strips

  Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken strips until golden brown and crispy, turning as needed to cook evenly on all sides. Once done, place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

• 

  Serve

  Arrange the crispy chicken strips on a platter and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
