• Place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls.
• Coat each strip with flour, then egg, and then roll in bread crumbs.
• Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
• Fry the chicken strips (in batches if necessary) until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels and remove pan from heat.
• Once the squash has finished roasting - remove from the oven and let it set for a few minutes before turing over and pulling at it with a fork.
• Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin.
