Ingredients

10 chicken pieces with skin removed if desired. Skinless is my preference.

Tony Chacherie's Creole seasoning or any Cajun Seasoning blend.

2 eggs

3/4 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup Italian Seasoned breadcrumbs

Oil for frying

Directions

Season the chicken heavily then refrigerate for at least one hour. *This is important for the seasoning to be absorbed throughout the chicken*

Remove chicken from refrigerator after an hour and set aside.

Mix the flour and breadcrumbs in a bowl.

Scramble the eggs in another bowl.

Put one inch of oil in a skillet and turn the heat to medium.

While oil is heating dip each piece of chicken in the eggs, dripping off the excess then roll in the flour breadcrumb mixture.

Place the coated chicken on a plate until you have a batch prepared.

Carefully lower the chicken in the hot oil being careful not to crowd the pieces.

Cook for 8 minutes, turn pieces over and cook for 8 more minutes or until chicken is floating and golden brown.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Coat and cook the remaining chicken. I always do this in two batches.
