American · Main course · 45 min total

Crispy, golden chicken fingers paired with perfectly seasoned fries make for a classic, kid-friendly meal that's easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
2. Toss fries with olive oil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
3. Meanwhile, set up breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in second, and panko mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in third.
4. Coat chicken strips first in flour, then egg, then panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken fingers in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve chicken fingers with fries and your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

• For extra crispy fries, parboil them for 5 minutes before baking.
• Serve with ketchup, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
• Leftover chicken fingers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer.
