Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork. Put the flour in another bowl, and add the salt and pepper. In the third bowl, put the bread crumbs.

  2. Step 2

    Dip a piece of chicken in the flour, covering both sides. Gently shake off any excess. Dip the floured chicken in the egg and let the extra drip off. Then lay it in the bread crumbs, and scoop some over to cover the top. Press down gently all over, then lift from the bowl and set on a plate. Do that for all the chicken.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat, and when the white foam floats to the top, use a spoon to skim it off. Then put in the chicken and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the crumbs are nicely browned. (Fish will take less time.) Use a spatula to turn the chicken over, and cook 5 more minutes or so. Serve with lemon wedges.

Hmm! How do you then get bread crumbs to stick onto your flour?

aj

G-F = cornflakes crushed rolled after yogurt bath(1 c) w 1 egg

I burned my chicken, very uneven cooking. I did not like this at all :(

Svm

Im going to use a quarter inch of oil to deep fry them. This should evenly cook it.

This was petrayed much more complicated than it actually was. However my whole family enjoyed the meal.
TIP: use cornflour rather than flour as it sticks better. Put the chicken in the egg first, then the cornflour - that way u don't get any floating flour in your egg bowl. Very happy with this meal
