Ingredients

• 500g boneless chicken breast (cut into strips)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornflour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Oil for deep frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Breading: In one bowl, combine flour, cornflour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
2. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
3. Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be enough to submerge the chicken sticks.
4. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Ensure the chicken is cooked through.
5. Drain the Excess Oil: Remove the chicken sticks from the oil and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or BBQ sauce.
