Crispy Chicken Strips

Description
Chicken is one of the most versatile things you can cook. No matter what you do with it or how you cook it up, chances are it will always taste great! In the process of writing my cookbook, I realised that I have tons of yummy treats that have chicken as the leading star.

Most of these recipes have been passed down from my mom to me, the rest were created in my own little messy kitchen! This is one of my personal favourites, a treat at ever party!

Ingredients

 * 12 Chicken Strips (or 3 large-sized boneless chicken breasts cut into 4 strips each)
 * oil for frying
 * 2 eggs
 * 1 cup bread crumbs

For the Marinade:


 * 1 tablespoon light cooking oil
 * 1 teaspoon red chili powder
 * 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
 * 1/4 teaspoon dry mango powder (amchoor)
 * 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
 * salt to taste

Directions
1. Mix chicken strips in a large bowl with all the marinade ingredients and let sit for an hour. 2. In a bowl beat 2 eggs and set aside 3. Heat oil in a pan and wait till oil is really hot. 4. Dip each chicken strip first into beaten egg, and then into bread crumbs to nicely coat each strip. 5. Fry chicken strips till brown and crispy. Serve with big bowl or french fries and ketchup and enjoy!!

Spicy Notes:

If you want to avoid the use of excessive oil while frying, this dish can be altered by putting it in a 375 degree oven on broil for 15-20 mins till chicken is crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
