Chicken Fries

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. You want the chicken to be mostly frozen. Slice each chicken breast into ¼-inch strips. If the strips are long, you can cut them in half.
2. Add the chicken to a mixing bowl and sprinkle the sugar and salt over the top. Toss to coat. Set aside.
3. Create an assembly line. Put cornstarch in the first shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs in the second shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, parsley, and pepper in the third shallow bowl.
4. Working one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the cornstarch, then into the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure it coats all side. Set on a plate and repeat until all chicken strips are coated.
5. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels. Add about 1-inch of oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. When ready and working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. The internal temperature needs to be at least 165 degrees F. Transfer to the paper towel lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you work on the next batch.
6. When all chicken is cooked, arrange on a platter and serve with your favorite dipping sauce(s) on the side. Enjoy!
