  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt

  2. Fry in hot oil 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden; set aside.
  3. Whisk 3 tbsp flour into the pan drippings and cook 1 minute.

Notes

Pound the chicken evenly so it cooks through before the crust burns.
