Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4-6 | Boneless, skinless chicken breasts |
| 4 | Fresh ground pepper |
| – | Eggs |
| 2 cups | Buttermilk |
| 3 cloves | Garlic |
| 1 | Lemon (juiced) |
| 2 cups | Bread crumbs |
| 1/2 cup | Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying |
Instructions:
-
The night before cooking the chicken, place it in a ziplock baggie with the buttermilk. This step ensures the chicken becomes tender and juicy.
-
The next day, rinse the chicken off and marinate it in lemon juice along with minced garlic and freshly ground pepper. Adjust the amount of pepper to suit your taste preferences.
-
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least three hours, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse into the meat, resulting in a burst of tangy goodness with each bite.
-
Prior to frying, dredge the chicken through the whisked eggs, ensuring an even coating. Then, generously coat both sides of the chicken with breadcrumbs, providing a crispy texture upon frying.
-
In a skillet or frying pan, heat the oil to a moderately high temperature, ensuring it is hot but not smoking. Carefully add the chicken breasts, cooking them for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil, maintaining its crispy exterior while preserving the moistness within.
-
Optionally, for a delightful variation, cut the chicken into strips before marinating in the buttermilk, transforming them into tantalizing Chicken Lemone Tenders, perfect for dipping and sharing.
Enjoy your Delicious Chicken Lemone! 🍋🍗
