I recently mad this recipe of Mom's for my in-laws and they told me it was the "best fried chicken ever." Slicing the chicken breasts into strips cuts down on cooking time and ensures every piece is crunchy and evenly coated.

This was very good. I used 1/2 cracker crumbs and 1/2 whole wheat flour in place of the saltines. I also pan fried the chicken pieces in about 1 Tbsp of oil until they were just cooked through and then finished them off for 5 minutes in a 375 degree oven while I made cream gravy with the drippings in the pan. Much healthier than deep-frying and still very tasty!

I made this tonight and it was wonderful. I bought a bag of those frozen strips and cut them into smaller strips. Kids and adults loved them alike!
