6. 6

   Coat each chicken strip in the dry batter.

7. 7

   Dip the floured chicken strip into the egg wash.

8. 8

   Repeat the dry-batter and egg-wash coating, then coat the strip in the parsley panko breadcrumbs.

9. 9

   Lay the coated chicken strips flat on a sheet and continue until all the strips are coated.

10. 10

    Make the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

    Heat the frying oil to 350°F.

    Carefully place the chicken strips in the hot oil and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

13. 13

    Serve the crispy chicken fries with the chicken sauce.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of frying oil or whether the chicken should be fried in batches. Avoid overcrowding the oil so it stays near 350°F. The source lists both salt to taste and 1 teaspoon salt for the chicken; both are preserved.
