  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • flour for breading

Instructions
 

  • Mix the crushed red pepper, ground cumin, pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
  • Dip the spiced chicken breasts in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in cracker crumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.
  • Fry the breaded chicken breasts in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
