Description

Imagine biting into a perfectly fried piece of chicken that is crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Chicken Fried Chicken is often served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, smothered in rich gravy, and accompanied by vegetables or biscuits, offering a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Preparation Method

1. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness.
2. Mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a shallow dish.
3. Whisk eggs and milk in another bowl.
4. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture.
5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Fry chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve hot with desired sides.

Tips and Conclusion

Bonus Tip

For an extra crispy crust, double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture before frying. This creates a thicker, more substantial coating that enhances the crunchiness. Additionally, letting the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before frying helps the batter adhere better, resulting in a more even and crispier crust.
