Spicy crumbed chicken strips

Start by preparing your chicken breasts. Trim any excess fat and cut them into strips, about 2-3 cm wide.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This will be your dry coating mixture.
In another bowl, beat the eggs. This will be your wet coating mixture.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture, ensuring it's coated evenly.
Next, dip the floured chicken strip into the beaten eggs.
Finally, coat the chicken strip with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken. Repeat this process for all the chicken strips.

Heat about 2-3 cm of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).
Carefully add the coated chicken strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to fry them in batches.
Fry the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
Serve the spicy crumbed chicken strips hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
