2 cups flour

Emeril's Dry Rub:
For the dry rub: In a food processor, combine the peppers, garlic, and olive oil, puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. For the chicken: Completely coat each piece of the chicken with the dry rub. Place on a baking sheet and allow to sit for 20 minutes. Evenly coat each piece of chicken with the flour. Dip each piece in the egg mixture, removing any excess liquid. Turn back into the flour mixture, coating each side well. Fill a large skillet with oil 2 inches high.
