4		Boneless skinless chicken breasts - - (1 1/2 lbs total)
1/2 cup	118ml	Potato starch - (about)
2		Eggs - beaten
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Matzo meal - (about)
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Onion powder

Recipe Instructions

Slice each chicken breast into 4 or 5 "fingers" about 4 inches long and 1/2-inch wide.

Lay out a large sheet of wax paper. Set the chicken on one end. Place the potato starch in a shallow bowl and the eggs in another bowl.

Combine the matzo meal, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, the garlic powder and the onion powder in a third shallow bowl and place it at the end of the line of bowls. (You are making an assembly line).

Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper. Dredge each finger lightly in the potato starch and shake off any excess. Dip the chicken in the eggs, then press into the seasoned matzo meal. Set the chicken on a clean piece of wax paper and finish dipping and coating all the pieces.

Pour 1/4 inch of oil in a large, deep skillet and heat to about 350 degrees. Fry a few pieces of chicken at a time, turning once, until well browned on each side, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes a side. Adjust the heat as required. Drain well. Serve warm or cold.
