(Crack and whisk all eggs)

6. Just beat it (Lil M.J)

(Place whole wheat crackers in a plastic bag and beat them to crumbs)

7. Roll up those sleeves, it's dredge time

In one bowl, put your flour. In the bowl "next to it" (Lupe Fiasco), add Panko bread crumbs, whole wheat cracker crumbs and the grated Parmesean. Use your hands to blend. Fun right!

(No not pancakes for real, just flip the chicken halfway through cooking. Like you would a pancake, get it? No!...dats cool. I'll be corny all by myself)

13. Bakers, after about 30-35 minutes remove nuggets & sprinkle with Parmesan cheese

(DO NOT question the cheese, please!)

14. Just keep frying, just keep frying (Finding Nemo)
