With this recipe if you are going to use it more for an appetizer than you'll definitely wanna double it up. Tastes great paired with white rice. A little  trick I learned to try to cut down on dishes and time is once you have the chicken cut put it into a bowl add the flour and mix around ensuring they are all covered, then add the whisked egg(s) and mix around and then do the same with the breading (adding more if needed) It saves a little time with the prep work.
