Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Fingers
  • 1 lb Chicken, cut into strips
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 large Eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs, panko recommended
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder for extra flavor
  • 1 tsp Paprika for a kick
  • Cooking oil for frying
  • Food coloring optional, for spooky effect

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Breading and Cooking
  1. Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.
  2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Drain the fried chicken fingers on paper towels.
Serving
  1. Serve the chicken fingers on a platter with your choice of dipping sauces and Halloween-themed decor.
  2. Optional: Add food coloring to a dipping sauce for an extra spooky effect.

Notes

For a crispier texture, consider double-dipping each strip. You can bake the chicken fingers at 400°F for about 20 minutes for a healthier option. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes from the chicken before breading.
