Chicken'tizers - Strips 1kg

Chicken strips, also known as chicken tenders or chicken fingers, are a popular and versatile dish made from boneless and skinless chicken breast meat. They are typically cut into long, narrow strips, coated with a seasoned breading or batter, and then fried until crispy and golden brown. Chicken strips are a favourite among both kids and adults and are often served as a delicious appetizer, snack, or main course.

Preparing Chicken Strips:

Here's a basic recipe for making chicken strips at home:

Ingredients:

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• All-purpose flour
• Eggs, beaten
• Breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
2. Dredge the chicken strips in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.
3. Dip the flour-coated chicken strips into beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Coat the chicken strips with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
5. Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan or pot to around 180°C (350°F).
6. Fry the coated chicken strips in batches until they are golden brown and fully cooked. This usually takes around 3-4 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.
7. Once the chicken strips are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

1. Dipping Sauces: Serve chicken strips with a variety of dipping sauces such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, ranch dressing, or sweet chili sauce.
