Grandpa’s hints

1. Very lightly oil chicken and put between two sheets of plastic.  Rather than pounding it flat, use your rolling pin for a more controlled flattening.
2. In your flour dredge, add 1 tsp each of salt, paprika or chili powder, and garlic powder.
3. In your egg dredge, add a splash of water (about 1/2 tsp per egg) and some salt
4. In your bread crumb dredge, add about 1/4 as much flour to help the crumbs to stick, and 1 tsp corn starch to help it crisp up better.  Some grated lemon zest and thyme will also help give it a fresh taste.
5. Heat your oil to about 360º
