Ingredients
- 500g skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp MSG
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Mexican chili powder
- 1 tsp MSG
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Salt
- Mayonnaise
- 6 tortillas
Instructions
-
Prep the Chicken: Begin by trimming any excess skin or fat from the chicken breasts. Then, slice the chicken breasts into strips measuring approximately 1/2 inch x 3-4 inches.
-
Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine water, salt, and MSG to create the marinade. Place the chicken strips into the marinade and let them sit for 20 minutes, turning them once halfway through.
-
Prepare the Coating: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk and a dash of pepper. In a small plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, Mexican chili powder, and MSG. Shake the bag to ensure thorough mixing.
-
Preheat the Oil: Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 220°C (428°F).
-
Coat the Chicken: Once the chicken has marinated for 20 minutes, transfer each piece to paper towels to drain excess liquid. Working in batches, place about ten strips at a time into the bag with the flour mixture. Shake the bag until the chicken is evenly coated. Place the coated strips on a plate.
-
Double Coating (Optional): For a thicker coating, dip the coated chicken strips individually into the egg and milk mixture, then return them to the flour mixture bag for another shake.
-
Fry the Chicken: Carefully drop 5-6 chicken strips at a time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes, depending on your preference. Stir the chicken strips while frying to prevent them from sticking together.
-
Drain the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and allow it to drain on paper towels for a couple of minutes to remove excess oil.
-
Prepare the Tortillas: Heat the tortilla bread in a frying pan on each side until warm but not crispy. Remove from the pan.
-
Assemble the Twisters: Place 3-4 crispy chicken strips (depending on size) onto each tortilla. Add sliced tomatoes and a generous spread of mayonnaise seasoned with salt and pepper. Top with fresh lettuce.
-
Roll and Serve: Roll up the tortillas tightly to encase the delicious filling. Serve immediately for a delightful meal or snack.
