Burger King Chicken Fries
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1 pound
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into strips that are 3 3/4 inches long, 1/2 inch wide, and 1/4 inch thick, aiming for a fry like shape. Avoid cutting the strips any thinner than 1/4 inch to prevent the chicken from tearing.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: Place the all-purpose flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and mix the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy bottomed skillet to 350°F. Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Working in batches, dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Roll the strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Carefully lower the coated chicken strips into the hot oil using tongs.
- Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken fries with clean tongs or a slotted spoon/turner and drain on paper towels. 10. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
