Ingredients

3 large (cut into strips)
All-Purpose Flour
3 cups (none)

Instructions
1
Start by partially cooking the chicken strips to ensure thorough frying. You can either boil them for a few minutes or lightly pan-fry them with a little olive oil until they're partially cooked.
2
Prepare the flour coating: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are smooth.
4
Dip each chicken strip into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Repeat for a double coating by dipping again in the egg and back into the flour.
5
If using a skillet, heat enough oil to submerge the chicken halfway. Fry the chicken strips on each side for about 5 minutes or until golden.
6
Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let the chicken cook for another 10 minutes to ensure it is cooked through.
7
Remove the cover, increase the heat, and fry for an additional 5 minutes on each side to achieve an extra crispy texture. Ensure the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside.
8
If using a fryer, preheat it to 350-400 degrees F. Place the double-coated chicken strips in the fryer basket and cook for approximately 7 minutes until they are fully cooked and crispy.
9
Once cooked, drain the chicken strips on paper towels and keep warm in the oven until you're ready to serve.
10
Serve with your choice of dipping sauce or enjoy the crispy goodness on its own.
