Chicken Chunks

Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breast halves, cut into chunks
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 package saltine crackers, finely crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, optional
  • oil for frying, 2 " deep
Directions
  • 1. Place chicken chunks into beaten egg and mix. Set aside.
  • 2. Place crackers in plastic food bag and roll with rolling pin until crackers are finely crushed. Mix salt into cracker crumbs.
  • 3. With tongs, remove chicken chunks from egg, allowing excess egg to drip off. Roll in cracker mixture until well coated. (Prepare additional eggs and cracker crumbs if they run out before all chicken is coated.) Let prepared chicken chunks sit until oil is heated.
  • 4. In heavy saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees. Using tongs, care-fully place coated chicken chunks into hot oil and fry until crispy and golden brown and no longer pink in center. (To test, slice into center of thickest piece.) Drain on paper towels or other absorbent paper. Serve with choice of dipping sauce.
