  3. Set Dredging Station: Arrange three shallow dishes with plain flour, the seasoned egg/milk mixture, and seasoned flour.
  4. Dredge Chicken: Coat your chicken in the plain flour, dip it in the egg wash, and roll it in the seasoned flour.
  5. Fry Chicken: Heat canola oil in a skillet, then gently fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
