[ButterflyWings]

Okay I know this sounds weird but I was tight on money and tried this and wow its good and easy..Enjoy!!

2 cups Captain Crunch cereal
1 1/2 cup corn flakes
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds chicken breast cut in 1-oz. tenders
vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals and set aside.

2. Beat the egg with milk and set aside.

3. Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powders and black pepper. Set this aside also.

4. Dip the chicken pieces into the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, then shake off the excess flour.

5. Dip into the egg wash, coating well, then dip into the cereal mixture, coating well.

6. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 325 degrees F. Drop coated chicken tenders carefully into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes depending on size.

7. Drain and serve immediately.

That actually does sound odd, but I'd probably do something like this too. I actually have made some "weird" foods before due to lack of ingredients, not much food to choose from, etc. At times it can turn out to be a great idea and others... well, you find yourself wishing you hadn't done/eaten it. Lol

I don't think I would have thought of using Capn Crunch
as a coating for chicken, but once I read your recipe it sounds
delicious.  A little sweet in the crunch sounds super to me!!

The Planet Hollywood franchise of restaurants had captain crunch chicken strips on the menu.  When ever I visited a city that had one of the restaurants I always had an order before leaving.
