Categories: Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 chicken breasts
• 2 to 4 cups cooking oil
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 1 tbsp margarine

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine salt, peppers, flour and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

2. Slice each chicken into bite-size pieces.

3. Preheat oil in deep fryer or skillet.

4. Dip pieces of chicken into the egg mixture 1 or 2 at a time, then into the flour/spice mixture. Repeat so that each piece of chicken is double coated.

5. When all the chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes.

6. Drop each piece of chicken into hot oil and fry for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown.

7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the hot sauce and margarine. Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, or just until the margarine has melted.

8. When the chicken pieces are done frying, remove them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

9. Place the chicken pieces into a covered container. Pour the sauce over the chicken, put the lid on, and shake gently until each piece of chicken is coated with sauce.
