Ingredients

  • 30 saltine crackers

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons dry potato flakes

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 egg

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Place crackers in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and crush crackers with a rolling pin until they are coarse crumbs. Add the flour, potato flakes, seasoned salt, and pepper and mix well.

  2. Beat egg in a shallow dish or bowl. One by one, dredge chicken pieces in egg, then place in bag with crumb mixture. Seal bag and shake to coat.

  3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Fry chicken, turning frequently, until golden brown and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes.
