How to Make Angie's Spicy Chicken Strips

  1. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch strips.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large frying pan or electric skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup milk into a separate shallow dish.
  5. Dip each chicken strip into the milk, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Dip back into the milk, then back into the flour mixture for extra crispy coating.
  6. Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the strips.
  7. Remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce – Texas Pete is highly recommended!
