Step 2
Heat 1/2 to 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can also use a deep fryer.
Step 3
Put chicken slices in the egg mixture and knead until fully coated. Press chicken in the bread crumbs until evenly coated.
Step 4
Working in batches, carefully place chicken in the hot oil using tongs and cook until no longer pink in the center and browned on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.
