Notes

• For the crispiest Chicken Fries, double-dredging the chicken in flour and egg wash helps create an extra crunchy coating.

• Panko breadcrumbs provide a lighter and crispier texture than traditional breadcrumbs.

• Fry the chicken fries in oil heated to approximately 350°F for the best golden-brown exterior.

• Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in less crispy chicken.

• Let the fried chicken fries rest on a wire rack instead of paper towels to maintain maximum crunch.

• These homemade chicken fries pair perfectly with ranch, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, spicy mayo, or buffalo sauce.

• Leftover chicken fries can be reheated in an air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to restore their crispiness.
