Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking; line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Crush the pretzels into small pieces using a food processor or a rolling pin.
- In a shallow dish, combine the crushed pretzels, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coating the Chicken
- In one bowl, place the flour. In another, beat the eggs. Prepare your pretzel-Parmesan mixture in a third dish.
- Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip into the beaten egg, and press it into the pretzel mixture ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cooking
- For frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken bites in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, draining on paper towels.
- For baking: Arrange chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until cooked through and golden.
Serving
- Serve hot with dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or sriracha mayo, and garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.
