Crunchy Cap'n Chicken Delight

Ingredients

- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into strips
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal, lightly crushed
- Oil for deep frying (about 4 cups, depending on fryer size)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Coating Mixes:
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Beat eggs in another shallow bowl until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Set aside.
- Place the lightly crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal in a third shallow bowl. Set aside.

2. Coat the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken strips dry with a paper towel.
- Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, ensuring a light, even coat. Shake off any excess flour.
- Dip the floured chicken strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage.
- Finally, press the chicken strip into the crushed Cap'n Crunch, ensuring a generous coating on all sides. Repeat for all chicken strips.

3. Prepare for Deep Frying:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

4. Deep Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully place chicken strips into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding to maintain oil temperature.
- Fry in batches for 5 to 6 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the chicken from the oil. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

5. Serve:
- Serve immediately for the best crunch. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of vegetables.
