Take chicken breasts that have been thawed and cut off any fat using kitchen shears or a knife.

Cut the chicken breast into long strips, approximately four pieces per breast.

Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly in a bowl of water until the water runs clear.

Soak the cut chicken in water to help the flour stick during coating.

Prepare a Ziploc bag with self-rising flour for coating the chicken.

Take pieces of wet chicken and place them in the flour, ensuring they are coated.

Heat approximately 2.5 quarts of cooking oil in a large pot on high heat for about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it.

Check if the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
