  4. Dredge marinated chicken in seasoned flour, pressing to coat.
  5. Fry chicken 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Notes

  • Reheat chicken in the oven and French toast in a skillet for best texture.
  • Keep components separate until ready to serve to avoid sogginess.
