IT Guy and I went out to dinner the other night. I ordered
these. Well...not THESE but I ordered something LIKE these. As I was
eating them...and they WERE tasty...I kept thinking how I could make
them at home and how much better they would be. I was so right tonight.
IT Guy ordered something completely different so he had zero frame of
reference when he ate these...but he took my word for it that mine were
better. Really...you've GOT to try them. If you want to cut out the
frying chicken part, then you can get some store bought chicken
strips...and use those. But...there's something to be said for FRESH
fried chicken! So, so, so, SOOOOOOO good!!!!

Working in batches, place chicken strips in the egg mixture and coat strips.
