Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork. Put the flour in another bowl, and add the salt and pepper. In the third bowl, put the bread crumbs.
- Dip a piece of chicken in the flour, covering both sides. Gently shake off any excess. Dip the floured chicken in the egg and let the extra drip off. Then lay it in the bread crumbs, and scoop some over to cover the top. Press down gently all over, then lift from the bowl and set on a plate. Do that for all the chicken.
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat, and when the white foam floats to the top, use a spoon to skim it off. Then put in the chicken and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the crumbs are nicely browned. (Fish will take less time.) Use a spatula to turn the chicken over, and cook 5 more minutes or so. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Just a heads up-this takes a lot of attention or it will burn!
- Preheat frying pan (medium heat). Mix all the ingredients together. Coat the entire pan with the oil. Add the bread crumb mixture and toss to absorb all of the oil. Keep tossing the bread crumbs evenly so they do not burn. Remove from the pan once they are a deep, golden color of tasty goodness!
- Top off your bowl of spaghetti with this and you'll never want it any other way!

Tips:
- Use stale bread for the best results. Fresh bread will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Cut the bread into small cubes so that they will fry evenly.
- Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the bread cubes. The oil should be hot enough to cause the bread to sizzle immediately, but not so hot that it burns.
- Fry the bread cubes in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan. This will help them to fry evenly.
- Stir the bread cubes frequently while frying to prevent them from sticking together.
- Remove the bread cubes from the oil when they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the bread cubes on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Season the bread cubes with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Use the bread crumbs immediately or store them in an airtight container for later use.
Conclusion:
Fried bread crumbs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be used as a topping for soups, salads, and casseroles. They can also be used as a breading for fried foods or as a filling for stuffed vegetables. With a little creativity, there are endless possibilities for using fried bread crumbs in your cooking. So next time you have some stale bread, don't throw it away! Turn it into delicious fried bread crumbs instead.
