Indulge in the irresistible crunch and succulent flavors of this Savory Fried Chicken recipe. Perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection, it’s a dish that will have everyone coming back for more.
Ingredients:
- 3 chicken pieces
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp sage
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions:
-
Rinse and Prep: Begin by rinsing the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels. This step ensures that the chicken is clean and ready for seasoning.
-
Seasoning Mixture: In a large plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, sage, onion powder, thyme, and garlic powder. Seal the bag tightly and shake well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
-
Egg Wash: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and water together until well combined. This egg wash will help the seasoned flour adhere to the chicken pieces, creating a crispy coating when fried.
-
Coating the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces into the seasoned flour mixture in the plastic bag. Seal the bag again and shake vigorously, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the seasoned flour.
-
Dip and Coat: After coating the chicken in the flour mixture, remove each piece from the bag and dip it into the egg wash, making sure it’s fully submerged. Once coated in egg, return the chicken to the bag of seasoned flour and shake once more to coat evenly.
-
Frying: In a skillet, heat enough oil for frying over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, being mindful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the chicken for approximately 10 minutes on one side, then carefully flip each piece and fry for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve hot and crispy alongside your favorite sides for a delicious meal the whole family will love.
