- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Prepare the Crispy Coating Mix: In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Set Up the Dredging Stations: In another bowl, place the flour. In a third bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
- Dredge the Chicken Strips: Take each chicken strip and dip it into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot.

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken strips in buttermilk before coating. Can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for a healthier option.
