Preparation

Heat a countertop fryer or a couple of inches of frying oil in large Dutch oven to 365°F.
Coat the meat in the flour, egg and breadcrumbs seasoned with paprika, nutmeg, ground mustard and thyme.
Fry the meat in batches so as not to crowd; keep warm in a 275°F oven on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
