Hello Mary,

Chicken crispitos, like chili crispitos, are a commercial product made by Tyson foods for institutional use, such as in school cafeterias. They are not sold retail to the general public as far as I can find. You might ask at your local school cafeteria. I have heard that local schools will sometimes sell them to individuals.

Other than that, they are only available through wholesale distributors like these:

You might try the below recipe. It might be similar.

I was in Whole Foods Market today, and I noticed that they have both "Beef Crispitos" and "Chicken Crispitos" for sale in the refrigerated/frozen foods cases.

Hello Mary,

Sorry, no luck with anything Yugoslavian or Slovenian or Austrian. Perhaps the below recipe is similar.

Fried Watermelon Sticks

The cookbook is "Grandma Grace's Southern Favorites - Very, Very Old Recipes Adapted for a New Generation" by Marty Davidson. This cookbook is available at Amazon.com.

There are several intriguing recipes in this book, including one for "fried milk patties". The one that I chose is - "french fried watermelon sticks"!

French-Fried Watermelon Sticks

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
3 cups watermelon rind, cut into strips 1/4 in. thick by 3 in. long
Flour for dredging
Shortening, melted 1-inch deep in frying pan
Sugar for coating

Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, cinnamon, and egg into a batter. Coat the 
melon strips with the batter, and then roll them in the dredging flour. 
Fry in hot shortening 7 to 8 minutes, browning on all sides. So not crowd. 
Remove the sticks from the pan and, while hot, roll in the sugar, coating 
heavily. Best served warm. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
