Ingredients

1 cup milk
1.5 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs
2 pheasant breast halves, thinly sliced
1 cup canola oil for frying

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, mix milk and vinegar. Place cracker crumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Dip each pheasant slice into the milk mixture, then press into the cracker crumbs, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the pheasant and cook until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
