Recipe courtesy of “Cookin’ Savvy”
Servings: 4

Ingredients
Oil of choice, for frying
1/2 stick butter
2 eggs
2 cups milk
3 pounds chicken breast, cut into strips
2 cups flour
1/4 cup barbecue seasoning of choice
1/4 cup mesquite seasoning
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Dipping sauce of choice (optional)

Directions
■ Fill Dutch oven or large frying pan halfway with oil and butter; heat over medium heat.
■ In large bowl, mix eggs and milk then place chicken strips in mixture.
■ In separate bowl, mix flour, barbecue seasoning and mesquite seasoning. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
■ Remove 4-6 chicken strips from milk mixture and cover completely in flour mixture.
■ Drop pinch of flour in hot oil; if it crackles, it’s hot enough. Once hot, fry battered chicken 4 minutes then, using tongs or fork, turn over and fry 4 minutes. When done, chicken will be golden and almost float. Remove from frying pan and repeat with remaining chicken.
■ Serve with dipping sauce of choice, if desired.
