Chicken goujons are crispy, golden-brown strips of chicken breast, lightly breaded and fried to perfection. A delicious snack or appetizer that can be paired with your favorite sauces for added flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Method:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into long, thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the breading sticks properly.
Step 2: Set Up Dredging Station
In one bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
Coat each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, making sure it’s fully covered. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the chicken goujons hot, with a side of dipping sauce like ketchup, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.
