Crispy Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
- 500 grams chicken breast, cut into preferred pieces
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 packet chicken seasoning (Royco or similar)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by filleting the chicken breast into pieces of your choice. Set them aside for later use.
-
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground black pepper, and chicken seasoning with the chicken pieces. Mix well to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the spices. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare the Coating: While the chicken is marinating, set up two separate bowls. In the first bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, additional ground black pepper, and chicken seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
-
Prepare the Wet Batter: In the second bowl, take approximately 5 tablespoons of the dry flour mixture and add enough water to create a smooth batter. Stir in the egg white until well combined.
-
Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the wet batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, transfer the chicken to the dry flour mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating adheres well.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over low heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Serve: Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy chicken delight!
