  2. Set up your breading station with seasoned flour, whisked eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
  4. Remove marinated chicken and dredge in seasoned flour, then egg wash, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Fry the coated chicken pieces in hot oil for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  6. Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Let the fried chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
