Ingredients

• 2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal, crushed
• 1 cup corn flakes, crushed
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds chicken tenders
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals and set in a shallow dish.

In a second shallow dish, beat the egg with milk.

Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powders and black pepper; set aside. Dip the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour and coat well; shake off the excess flour.

Dip in the egg wash, coating well, then dip in the cereal mixture, coating well.

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet. Drop coated chicken tenders carefully in the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Remove tenders to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
