Crispy, golden, and juicy Batter Fried Chicken Fingers made with a seasoned batter and deep-fried to perfection. A family-friendly favorite perfect for dinner or snacks.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup cold water or club soda
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into even-sized strips.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the cold water or club soda.
  4. Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients and whisk into a smooth batter.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Dip each chicken strip into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
  7. Carefully place the battered chicken fingers into the hot oil, a few at a time.
  8. Fry for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  9. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use club soda instead of water in the batter.
  • Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature to prevent soggy coating.
  • Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier texture.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
  • Mix dry ingredients in advance to save prep time.
