Description

Just like the old Planet Hollywood version! You won’t believe how crazy tasty they are.

Ingredients

  • 12 whole Chicken Tenders (strips)
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 cups Cap'n Crunch Cereal
  • Vegetable Oil, For Frying
  • Ketchup, For Serving

Preparation

Put the flour in a shallow bowl and add some salt and pepper. Put the egg in a second shallow bowl. Crush the cereal in a third bowl, leaving a few larger chunks.

Dip the chicken strips first in the flour, then the egg and then the cereal.

Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes, turning them so they don’t burn. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with extra salt. Serve with ketchup!

I made these once, as written and they were….good. I’m not great at frying chicken though. I have since tweaked the recipe and deem it delicious! I sprinkled the chicken strips with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and some pepper first. Dredged them in a ziploc with self-rising flour and let them rest on a raised cookie cooling rack for several minutes. Dipped them in the egg in a pie pan and then into a ziploc with the smashed Cap’n Crunch cereal. Again I let them rest for a few minutes on the cooling rack to allow for breading to adhere. I left them on the rack set over a cookie sheet, sprayed them lightly with non-stick spray, and baked them at 350 for 20 minutes, flipping them and spraying the second side about 15 minutes in. Make sure the cereal is not crushed too finely! I have batch #4 in the fridge waiting to cook them tomorrow to see how far they can be prepped in advance. OMG! So yum! This recipe is a win for me and absolutely is on the dinner rotation list.

I’m giving this 5 stars but ultimately did not make them as directed. I think I made them even better! Please note my comment above. These are awesome!
