“Crispy Chicken Strips” are a popular and delectable dish, beloved for their perfect balance of a crunchy exterior and tender, juicy interior. To begin, high-quality chicken breasts are typically used, sliced into long, thin strips. These strips are then tenderized and seasoned, often with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sometimes a hint of paprika or cayenne for an extra kick.
The key to the crispiness lies in the coating process. First, the chicken strips are dredged in flour mixed with a bit of seasoning to ensure every layer is flavorful. This flour coating helps the next layer, usually a beaten egg mixture, to adhere to the chicken. The egg adds moisture and acts as a glue for the final coating layer.
The outermost layer is what gives these chicken strips their signature crunch. Commonly, a mixture of breadcrumbs, often Panko for extra crispiness, is used. These breadcrumbs might be seasoned with herbs like parsley or oregano for an additional flavor dimension. Some recipes also mix grated Parmesan into the breadcrumbs for a cheesy twist.
