Everyone adores crispy chicken strips, a timeless favorite! These chicken strips are wonderfully gratifying and simple to prepare, making them ideal for a family supper, game day snack, or a tasty meal prep choice.

Components:

One pound of skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or roughly two large breasts
One cup of all-purpose flour
Two huge eggs
One cup of breadcrumbs (for added crunch, use panko)
One teaspoon of powdered garlic
One teaspoon of powdered onion
One teaspoon of paprika
Half a teaspoon of salt
Half a teaspoon of black pepper
Vegetable oil or cooking spray for frying

Directions:

To begin, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch-wide strips. To guarantee consistent cooking, you can also lightly pound the chicken.
Add the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the flour in a shallow basin.

Beat the eggs in a another bowl until they are thoroughly combined.
Put the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.

Step 3: Give the chicken strips some bread.

Shake off any excess flour after coating each chicken strip with the seasoned flour.
Then, make sure the chicken is completely coated by dipping it into the beaten eggs after flouring it.
Lastly, lightly press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken after rolling it in them. Continue doing this with each chicken strip.

Step 4: Warm up the oven or air fryer.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if you’re using one. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) if you plan to use one, and place parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Cook the chicken strips in step five.

Regarding the Air Fryer:

Apply cooking spray sparingly to the air fryer basket.
Don’t pack the basket too full; instead, arrange the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer.
Apply a thin layer of cooking spray to the chicken strips’ tops.
Air fried until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Regarding the oven:

On the baking sheet that has been prepared, arrange the breaded chicken strips.
To aid in crisping, lightly mist the tops with cooking spray.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, turning halfway through, or until cooked through and golden brown.

Step 6: Offer

After cooking, take the chicken strips out of the oven or air fryer and allow them to cool somewhat.
Warm up and serve with your preferred dipping sauces, including ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
