Description

Ingredients
- 4 pieces of chicken
- 1/3 cup herb seasoning mix
- 1 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chicken pieces.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- Drain the chicken well and allow it to cool before continuing.
-
Season and Stuff:
- Cut each chicken piece into 8 parts, ensuring each piece has a deep pocket.
- Fill each pocket with approximately 2 teaspoons of herb seasoning mix. (You can use Herb Seasoning recipe #84791.)
-
Breading Process:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 375°F (190°C).
- In a pie pan, combine flour with salt and pepper.
- In another pie pan, beat the egg.
- In a third pie pan, spread out the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken piece first in the seasoned flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside while coating all pieces.
-
Frying the Chicken:
- Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches.
- Fry until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-5 minutes per side.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot and crispy, paired with your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad.
