Instructions
Season chicken generously with salt and black pepper.
1 pound chicken tenders,
Salt and pepper
Pour cooking oil into a deep skillet leaving about 2 inches from the top of the skillet for the oil to expand. Heat on medium-high heat.

2 tablespoons seasoned salt

Beat eggs, hot sauce and milk in a medium bowl until combined.
2 large eggs,
1 tablespoon hot sauce,
¼ cup milk
Dry Mix #2
Combine crushed saltine crackers and flour in medium bowl.
1 package saltine crackers,

One at a time, place a piece of chicken in the first dry mix, making sure it is evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.
Dip in wet mix and allow excess to drip off.
Place in the second dry mix and thoroughly cover with cracker mixture. Press gently to ensure crackers stick.
Carefully place chicken in hot oil.
Cook for 5-6 minutes. Use tongs to turn chicken and cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Place cooked chicken on paper towels to cool.
