How to store Crispy Chicken Fries

• For extra crunch, you can double bread the chicken by dipping it in the egg and breadcrumbs twice.
• Experiment with different spices in the flour mixture for added flavor.

2. Can I use frozen chicken?
Yes, but it’s better to thaw the chicken completely before making the recipe for the best texture.

Ketchup, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing are all great choices for dipping!
