Chicken Nuggets, Strips, or Cutlets

Cut chicken into desired shape. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs well. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated cheese if using (see note below). Dip chicken pieces into beaten egg, followed by breadcrumb mixture.

In a large skillet, heat oil until shimmering. Fry chicken in oil until golden brown on both sides; drain chicken on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Serve with plenty of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Note: You can coat chicken pieces in egg followed by just Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but I like to add up to 50% grated Parmesan or Romano cheese to my breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
