Crispy Chicken Fillets Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized chicken breast, halved
- 1 egg
- 1 packet of seasoned flour mix (e.g., Sasa crispy)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (divided for wet and dry mixtures)
- A pinch of baking powder
- Cooking oil for frying
- Water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken breast thoroughly and slice thinly.
-
Prepare the Wet Batter: In a bowl, mix 4 tbsp of seasoned flour mix, egg, baking powder, and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Add a little water to prevent clumping.
-
Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the wet batter mixture. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
-
Prepare the Dry Coating: In another bowl, combine the remaining seasoned flour mix, all-purpose flour, remaining cornstarch, baking powder, and optionally, spicy powder (like Kobe level 30 chili powder) for extra heat.
-
Frying Process: Heat cooking oil in a pan. While waiting for the oil to heat up, coat each marinated chicken piece in the dry coating mixture, pressing gently to ensure the flour sticks.
-
Fry the Chicken: Fry the chicken in the hot oil over medium heat. Occasionally flip the chicken to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
-
Cook Until Golden Brown: Fry until the chicken turns golden brown on both sides.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
-
Adjust Seasoning: If the dry coating seems insufficient or if desired, add a bit more all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt or seasoning powder.
