Bread the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture. Ensure an even coating on all sides.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cook the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
