- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Oil, for frying
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, salt and black pepper together. Beat lemon juice and eggs together in a separate bowl.
- Heat about 1.5 to 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Dip the cubed chicken pieces into the flour mixture and then into the egg mixture. The chicken pieces are then dipped into the flour mixture again.
