Step-by-Step Method
Prep the chicken
Slice the chicken breast into finger-thick strips. Pat dry with paper towels so it browns evenly. Season with salt and, if you like, a little black pepper.
Heat the oil
Warm a generous layer of oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Keeping the heat controlled helps the outside brown without over-darkening.
Fry in batches
Lay the chicken strips in a single layer. Cook in batches to avoid crowding. Fry, turning once, until both sides are golden and the centers are fully cooked.
Drain and serve
Move the chicken fingers to a paper-towel-lined plate and rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot, optionally with a yogurt-based dip or a garlicky sauce.
