# Guide to Cooking:

In one bowl, combine flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs and mix in Parmesan cheese if using.

Dip each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally roll thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Place the breaded chicken strips on the baking tray in a single layer and drizzle lightly with olive oil to enhance crispness.
05 -
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Place the coated chicken strips in a single layer in the basket without overlapping. Air fry for 12 minutes until golden and crispy. No flipping required.
# Extra Suggestions:
