Marinate the Chicken

3. Drizzle oil over the strips and toss to coat evenly.
4. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour to marinate.

2. Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and water until smooth.
3. Breadcrumbs: In a tray, mix panko breadcrumbs with dried parsley.

Coat the Chicken Strips

1. Dip each chicken strip first into the dry batter, then the egg wash, repeat with the dry batter and egg wash again for an extra crispy layer.
2. Finally, coat each strip thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
3. Place coated strips on a flat sheet and repeat until all chicken strips are coated.

Make the Dipping Sauce

Fry the Chicken Fries

1. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully add the chicken strips in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
