Coat and fry the chicken

Set up two plates: one with beaten egg, Cajun spice, pepper and salt, the other with seasoned flour mixture. After marination, dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs. For extra crispness, repeat once. Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
