Fried Chicken Strips

Fried Chicken Strips
I recently mad this recipe of Mom's for my in-laws and they told me it was the "best fried chicken ever." Slicing the chicken breasts into strips cuts down on cooking time and ensures every piece is crunchy and evenly coated. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce.—Genny Monchamp, Redding, California
