Enjoy these crispy and flavorful chicken strips paired with a tangy honey mustard dip, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the chicken breasts into even strips.
Cutting the chicken into uniform sizes ensures even cooking.
Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl.
Add a splash of water to the eggs for a smoother coating.
Place the flour in another shallow bowl.
Season the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
Combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a separate shallow bowl.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Coat each chicken strip in flour, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Heat the deep fryer to 350°F and fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain the oil temperature.
Drain the fried chicken strips on paper towels and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
Mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a bowl to make the dip.
Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by varying the honey or lemon juice.
Serve the chicken strips with the honey mustard dip on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
