Fried Chicken Strips

While this isn't the kind of thing that you should eat all that often, it's good.  Really good. 

We actually own a deep fryer...one of those kitchen purchases that my husband was in charge of.  If you don't, a large, deep pot will work well too, just make sure you use only as much oil as you will need and cover when cooking.

Though this could easily work with any chicken pieces, we opted to make it with boneless, skinless breasts.  Increase cooking time if pieces of chicken have bones.

Fried Chicken Strips
- chicken, desired pieces, cut into manageable sections
- vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tbsp garlic salt
- 2 tsp ground pepper, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (we use Frank's Red Hot)
- 2 cups flour

Combine garlic salt and 1 tsp ground pepper in one shallow bowl.  Beat eggs, water and hot sauce in a second shallow bowl.  Combine flour and remaining tsp of ground pepper in a third bowl.

Coat chicken with garlic salt and pepper mixture, then dredge in eggs, then coat in flour mixture.

Fry for 8-10 minutes if boneless, 12-15 if bones in.
