CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Combine flour with garlic powder & pepper in a bowl.
• Crack eggs and beat till throughly combined in a seperate bowl.
• Combine parmesan cheese and crushed crackers in a third bowl.
• Start by coating the chicken pieces in flour, then dip in egg wash and then dip into cracker mix.
• Set coated chicken onto a plate. When finished coating all the chicken, put the plate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the coating "set-up".
• In a large fry pan, heat 1/2" of oil to medium high heat (I don't use a thermometer but I'm guessing 350 degrees).
• Pan fry in small batches till golden brown on all sides - depending on size of your tenders, 5-6 minutes per side.
• Remove to a paper towel lined plate till all the chicken is done.
• We served it with pasta and spaghetti sauce but i'm guessing it would go with about anything.
