FAQs

Can I bake the Chicken Fries instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the breaded chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

What dipping sauces pair well with Chicken Fries?
Popular dipping sauces include ketchup, honey mustard, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or buffalo sauce. Feel free to mix and match to find your favorite!

Can I freeze Chicken Fries?
Yes, you can freeze them! After breading the Chicken Fries, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, fry or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
