Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 25 mins


• heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• combine crackers, garlic salt, and ranch dressing mix in a resealable plastic bag; squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. finely crush crackers with a rolling pin or heavy skillet. pour 1/3 the crumbs mixture into a large bowl.
• pour flour into a bowl. pour eggs into another bowl.
• gently press chicken pieces into flour to coat and shake off excess flour. dip into beaten egg and press into cracker crumbs. place the breaded chicken pieces a plate while breading the rest.
• working in batches, cook breaded chicken in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
