Tip the crushed pretzels into another shallow bowl and mix in the onion flakes.
Take a strip of chicken and dip it into the flour, then the egg. Lastly dip it in the pretzel mixture. (If you use one hand for the egg stage and the other hand for the two dry ingredients, you should avoid really sticky fingers)

Check the chicken is cooked through and serve with a dipping sauce or mash and gravy.
