  1. Whisk the eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl until blended. Dredge the chicken in flour to coat both sides lightly and tap off the excess flour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip into the egg as many of the chicken pieces as will fit in the pan without touching. Let excess batter drip back into the bowl and place them into the skillet. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes. Drain the chicken on a paper towel lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
