I'm in Iowa as well, grill is covered in snow. Pan fry!

Try a breading mix of 60% flour and 40% white sugar. Add salt, pepper and some Tony Chachere's creole seasoning

Go an egg wash and bread once or twice, depending how thick you want the crust. Sugar might sound weird, but trust me the flavors come together well and the caramelization is to die for.

Fry in cast iron skillet with hot oil. Brown well, but do not overcook and make it tough.

Thank me later!
