Ingredients
  

  • 5 lbs Chicken breast strips You can follow the same instructions for bone in legs or thighs, the cooking time will just need to be longer and at 375 instead of 400.
  • 4 Cups Italian style bread crumbs
  • 2 Cups Whole Wheat flour
  • 2 Tsp Seasoned Salt We love Johnnys
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 cups Milk

Ingredients for frying

  • 1 stick butter
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Place your stick of butter and cup of coconut oil on a full size sheet pan.  Place in the oven while it preheats to 400 degrees.  In the meantime, mix your eggs and milk in a shallow bowl.  Next mix your bread crumbs flour and seasonings.  You can either do this in a shallow dish or in a bag.  Set up a bit of an assembly line.  Your chicken, then the milk egg mixture, next the dry ingredients and finally the preheated pan with the melted oils.  Dip the chicken in the milk mixture, then place it in the flour mixture then place in on the pan directly in the oil.  I work with about five pieces of chicken at a time.   Pop it in the oven for about 15 minutes, flip the chicken pieces over and let it go for another 10.  Take out of oven when they look as crispy as you would like them to.  Enjoy!

Notes

If you are making this with bone in chicken pieces, lower your oven temp to 375 degrees and cook for about 30 minutes on each side.
