Fried Chicken a la Saltine Crackers

Hello again! Here we have an American classic: Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and a hearty side of green beans. I'm just going to focus on the chicken since mashed potatoes and green beans are a kitchen staple I'm sure you've all mastered ;-) I used Saltine Crackers for this recipe since I didn't have bread crumbs but it turned out tastefully surprising with a nice added crunch. 

Ingredients:

4 boneless chicken breasts, thawed
1 cup ground Saltine Crackers or any regular white table crackers
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp black pepper
Salt

Preparation:

Add the crackers, flour, paprika, garlic salt, black pepper, and salt to a shallow dish. In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg. Heat a medium to large pan with the vegetable oil on medium heat. 

You can pound the chicken to make it thinner, but I find this step unnecessary but unless you like your chicken this way, skip it. Bathe the chicken in the milk and egg mixture then transfer it to the cracker and flour mixture. Cover it thoroughly, you can pile it on to make your chicken extra crispy. Place the chicken in the hot oil for 5 minutes on each side and serve!
