• Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another medium bowl.
• Whisk the flour with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a third medium bowl.
• Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Dredge 1 chicken piece at a time in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg to evenly coat, and finally evenly coat in the pretzel crumbs. Transfer to the prepared wire rack.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a pinch of leftover flour in the oil.

Transfer with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken.
• Serve the chicken fingers warm with the mustard dipping sauce.
