How can you go wrong with pretzel-flavored breading on fried chicken!! Well, I suppose this is how. For some reason, even the oil smelled fishy to me as I was cleaning up later in the day. I ended up cutting up the chicken to use in a Chinese Chicken Salad for dinner. This is not a recipe to keep, although i still believe it has potential. Perhaps making sure the pretzels are totally powdered, perhaps using a blender? Also, the double-dip technique would have been nice to get more of the pretzel taste on the outside. The chicken was bland because there was no seasoning.Pretzel Fried Chicken
2 2-to-3 pound fryer-broilers, cut up into portion-sized pieces
2 eggs, beaten until lemon yellow
1/2 c. milk
3 c. finely crushed pretzel crumbs made from the cocktail type pretzels
vegetable oil or shortening for deep frying
1. Dry the pieces of chicken with paper towels. Mix the eggs and milk thoroughly.
2. Place the finely crushed pretzels in a paper sack. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg-milk mixture and place in the crushed pretzels and shake sack until thoroughly coated.
3. Drop into 350º vegetable oil and fry until a rich golden brown. Place the fried pieces of chicken on aluminum foil in a large flat baking pan in a 300º oven for an additional 35 minutes. Serve piping hot. Serves 6.
