Ingredients
•

•
1 cup garlic salt
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
2 cups panko bread crumbs
•
vegetable oil

Directions
1
Place chicken in a bowl and sprinkle with garlic salt. Toss to coat and let sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place flour in a bowl. Place eggs in a second bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl. Toss chicken in the flour, dip in the eggs, and toss in the bread crumbs.
3
Heat 2 inches of oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Lower chicken carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken.
