Heat oven to 200°F; set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and place it in the oven. After each batch is finished frying place in oven to keep warm. Serve.
This breading recipe also works well with chicken tenders, but the cooking time will need to be increased. *For spicy Crispy Chicken Bites, add a ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the egg wash.
