Ingredients

  • 3 eggs

  • 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 1/4 cup bread crumbs

  • 1 pound chicken fingers

  • 1 cup peanut oil

Directions

  • Beat the eggs and combine with the cheese. Add this mixture to a large, shallow dish.

  • Add the flour to a second large, shallow dish. Add the breadcrumbs to a third dish.

  • Using a fork or hands, place the chicken in the flour, followed by the egg/cheese mixture, and then the breadcrumbs. Lay the chicken on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the covering to set.

  • Heat the peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken in batches that fit the size of the skillet without crowding. Fry until golden brown, which usually takes about 2 minutes per side.

  • Put the cooked chicken on paper towels to pick up excess oil.
