Homemade chicken strips can make a wonderful meal. Be sure you have a deep fryer handy before checking out these recipe ideas.
1. Plan Ahead
Before you even start, you’ll need to make sure you have the following ingredients:
Boneless Chicken Breast, cut in strips
Milk
Egg
Flour
If you plan to have a different type of strips (like spicy strips, sweet strips, etc), make sure you have the additional ingredients as well.
2. Cook
Preheat your deep fryer to at least 350* before you go any further. You’ll want to be able to immediately drop your chicken in a hot fryer as soon as you bread it.
As soon as it’s hot, place an egg and milk into a bowl to drop the chicken in. Pour your flour into a zip lock bag, and shake to coat the milk/egg chicken. Cook in fryer until chicken floats and is golden brown.
3. Add Sauces
Here you get to choose what type of dipping sauce you want with your chicken strips. Some prefer ranch, others with nothing, and many with just plain ketchup. You can also make a tasty honey mustard by mixing half mustard and half honey.
Variations:
Some variations of chicken strips include adding different spices to your flour. Garlic salt, onion powder, and other spices can make a spicy chicken that’s not too hot. Sesame seeds can also make a great addition to your chicken – just be sure to bake the seeds first so they don’t “explode” and pop.
Another variation is marinating the chicken first before breading. You’ll need to plan ahead at least a day with this option.
The sky is the limit with this easy recipe – see what you can come up with that’s in your own kitchen!
