Method:
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into long, thin strips, mimicking the shape of traditional fries. Aim for about 1-inch wide strips to ensure even cooking. - Step 2: Set Up the Breading Stations
In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. - Step 3: Coat the Chicken
Take each chicken strip and dip it into the flour, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour before dipping it into the beaten eggs. Finally, roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating. Repeat this process until all chicken strips are coated. - Step 4: Heat the Oil
In your frying pan or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and browns, it’s time to fry! - Step 5: Fry the Chicken Fries
Carefully add a few chicken strips to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. - Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Once all the chicken fries are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as barbecue, ranch, or honey mustard. Enjoy your homemade Burger King Chicken Fries!
