Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/3 of the breaded chicken in the hot oil until the crust is golden and the center is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining oil and breaded chicken in 2 batches.
