13 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Small Pieces
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Seasoned Salt (such As Lawry's)
  • Salt And Black Pepper To Taste
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 cups Seasoned Breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable Oil, For Frying
  • Ketchup And Mustard, For Serving

Directions

  1. 1
    First, make the breading assembly line: In one bowl, stir together the flour, seasoned salt, salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and water.
  3. 3
    In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
  4. 4
    Bread a few pieces of chicken at a time by dredging them with flour, then quickly dunking them in the egg mixture, then rolling them in the breadcrumbs until theyre coated.
  5. 5
    Shake off the excess and place them on a plate or pan as you bread the rest.
  6. 6
    In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat (place the skillet on the backburner!
  7. 7
    ), heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-low to medium heat.
  8. 8
    (You want it to be hot enough to sizzle gently when you add the chicken, but not so hot that it browns too quickly.)
  9. 9
    Carefully drop in 8 to 10 pieces of chicken and use metal tongs to spread them out to give them room.
  10. 10
    Let them fry on the first side for a minute or so, then carefully turn them over to brown on the other side.
  11. 11
    The chicken should cook until the breadcrumbs are deep golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes total; if the chicken pieces are small, this should be enough time for the chicken to cook through.
  12. 12
    Remove the chicken to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with the rest of the chicken until its all fried.
  13. 13
    Serve warm with ketchup and/or mustard!
