Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
• 6 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• 1 pinch ground paprika, or to taste
• 1 pinch rubbed sage, or to taste
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut each chicken breast into 3 strips and place in a large bowl. Add milk, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sage, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Coat chicken strips in the flour mixture.

Step 4

Fry chicken in the hot oil until golden, no longer pink in the centers, and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Work in batches to maintain oil temperature.
