Cap'n Crunch cereal makes the best coating for chicken strips.
- 1-2 Chicken Breasts cut into chicken tender or nugget sized pieces.
- 1-2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
- 2 eggs for an egg wash
- 1 cup flour
- black pepper for seasoning the flour
- garlic powder for seasoning the flour
-
Cut up your chicken to desired sizes, kitchen shears help to make the job go quick!
-
Blend your cereal into crumbs in your food processor or blender. Place cereal crumbs into a shallow glass pie plate to prepare for breading.
-
In a wide frying pan use a small amount of oil to fry the chicken strips. Start to heat the oil in your frying pan. Choose an oil that is good under high heat...canola works great.
-
Prepare all three dipping plates for the chicken. 1-the seasoned flour 2-the egg wash 3-the Cap'n Crunch crumbs. Dip the chicken into the three separate mixtures: the seasoned flour, then move onto the egg wash, and finally the cereal crumbs.
-
Check the oil to see if it's hot enough before you begin. Test it with a little bit of the flour mixture. If the oil sizzles, it's ready. Place in your shallow pan to fry and cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes each side, until they are crisp and golden.
-
Place the cooked chicken tenders on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath to catch excess oil. This also stops the breading from getting sticky from sitting to the paper towels.
