Instructions

  • Add eggs, milk and lemon juice to a medium bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Add flour, thyme, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper to a large shallow bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Layout chicken strips in a single layer on a large plate, cutting board or work surface and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Grabbing one chicken strip at a time, first dip it into the flour mixture, turning to coat.
  • Remove and dip into the egg mixture, turning to coat.
  • Remove from egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and return to flour mixture, turning and pressing to fully coat.
  • Place on a cookie sheet.
  • Repeat with remaining strips until all are breaded.
  • Place cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 1/2 to 1 hour.
  • Fill a large skillet or electric skillet with oil to about 1/2 inch deep.
  • Heat oil to 375°F.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place a few breaded chicken strips in hot oil. Do not crowd.
  • Cook until strips turn golden brown, turning to cook other side when needed.
  • Remove strips to a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
  • Repeat with remaining strips until all are cooked.
  • Serve hot with various Dipping Sauces (See Box below for Links to Some Good Ones!)
