  • extra light olive oil, for frying
  • 12 small wooden skewers

For serving

  • lemon wedges

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Marinate the chicken: Cut chicken into ¾-inch strips and mix with salt, pepper, all purpose seasoning, and mayo. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).

  • Prep the skewers: Thread chicken onto wooden skewers. Try to keep the flat sides facing the same direction so they cook evenly.

  • Coat with breadcrumbs: Pour breadcrumbs onto a large plate and roll each skewer until fully coated.
    ¾ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • Fry ‘em up: Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook skewers for about 3 minutes per side (6–8 minutes total), flipping once golden. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
    extra light olive oil
  • Drain & serve: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with your favorite dip.
