How To Make all american fried chicken
-
1Season the chicken with salt (optional) and freshly ground black pepper. Combine the eggs and egg whites in a bowl. Dip the chicken into the finely chopped nuts and coat. Next, dip the chicken into the beaten egg mixture, and then into the coarsely ground nuts, coating evenly. Fry the chicken on medium heat until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. When removing the chicken, handle with care, and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Season with salt (optional) and pepper to taste, and serve. Additional Information: Filberts or blanched almonds can be substituted for the pecans. (I used walnuts).
