1 pound chicken tenders, Salt and pepper
Pour about 1-inch of cooking oil into a deep, heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Dry Mix #1
Combine the flour and seasoned salt in a medium bowl.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons seasoned salt
Wet Mix
Beat the eggs, hot sauce and milk in a medium bowl until combined.

Dry Mix #2
Combine the crushed saltine crackers and flour in medium bowl.

Coat the Chicken
One at a time, place a piece of chicken in the first dry mix, making sure it is evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.
Dip in wet mix and allow excess to drip off.
Place in the second dry mix and thoroughly cover with cracker mixture. Press gently to ensure crackers stick.
Fry
Working in batches, carefully place chicken in hot oil, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Use tongs to turn chicken and cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F.
Place cooked chicken on paper towels to cool.
