Instructions
-
Crush the Chips: Begin by opening the bag of BBQ chips. Secure the bag closed and crush the chips using the palm of your hand or a wooden mallet until they are finely crushed. This will create the flavorful coating for your chicken.
-
Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed BBQ chips with freshly chopped thyme, oregano, and rosemary. This blend of herbs will elevate the smokey flavor of the chips and infuse the chicken with aromatic goodness.
-
Beat the Eggs: In another bowl, beat the four eggs until fully blended. This egg mixture will act as a binding agent for the flour and the crushed BBQ chips, helping them adhere to the chicken.
-
Set Up for Dipping: In a tray, place 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. This will be used to dust the chicken before it is dipped in the egg mixture.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Take each boneless chicken breast and first dip it into the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
-
Egg Dipping: Next, dip the flour-coated chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. This step ensures that the crushed chips adhere properly to the chicken.
-
Coat with BBQ Chips: Generously coat the egg-dipped chicken breasts with the crushed BBQ chip mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure a thick layer adheres to the chicken.
-
Heat the Skillet: In a large cast iron skillet or another oven-safe skillet, heat 1/2 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough to create a sizzle when the chicken is added.
-
Sauté the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil. Sauté for approximately 8 minutes on each side or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
-
Bake for Extra Crispiness: After the chicken is golden and crispy, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C). Bake the chicken for an additional 8 minutes, flipping halfway through (4 minutes on each side) to ensure even cooking.
-
Prepare the Mustard Garnish: While the chicken is baking, mix together the yellow and Dijon mustards in a small bowl. This will serve as a tangy garnish for the finished dish.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven. For an extra crunch, garnish the tops of each chicken breast with additional crushed BBQ chips. Drizzle the mustard mixture over the chicken, and finish with fresh thyme for a pop of color and flavor.
This BBQ Chip Fried Chicken is not only quick and easy to prepare but also promises a burst of flavor with every bite. It’s perfect for busy nights when you want something satisfying and delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or crispy roasted vegetables, and enjoy a delightful meal that’s sure to impress.
