INGREDIENTS
400 g of chicken breast
100 g of breadcrumbs (Recipe: Homemade Breadcrumbs)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika powder
1 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes
Vegetable oil
METHOD
1. Begin by cutting the chicken breast into long strips and placing them in a bowl.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, smoked paprika powder, cumin, and salt to the bowl with the chicken, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
3. Pour the soy sauce into the bowl with the chicken, allowing the flavours to infuse. Mix well to ensure that each chicken strip is coated in the marinade. Let it marinade for 30-60 minutes at room temperature, allowing the flavours to develop.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and chili flakes, creating a flavourful coating for the chicken.
5. Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish, creating an egg wash for the chicken.
6. Take each chicken strip one by one, dip it into the egg wash, and then coat it thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumbs. Ensure that each strip is evenly coated for a crispy and flavourful exterior.
7. Preheat vegetable oil in a pan, ensuring there is enough to submerge the chicken strips by half. The oil should be heated to a medium heat.
8. Carefully place the coated chicken strips in the pan, frying them on both sides until the breadcrumbs turn golden and crispy. This process should take approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Be mindful of not overcrowding the pan, allowing each strip to cook evenly.
9. Once the chicken strips are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
10. Serve these delicious breaded chicken strips with a dipping sauce of your choice. A simple ketchup pairs wonderfully with the flavours, adding a tangy element to the dish.
