In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together egg, milk, salt, and black pepper. Coat each piece of chicken first in the dry flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and back in the flour mixture.

Ensure the oil is at 350°F for crispy chicken. Use a thermometer to check the temperature for best results.
