Recipe - Fried Chicken Breasts




Sorry that I haven't updated the recipe page lately but I have been working so much I haven't had time to cook. I'm not working now, so hopefully I will be cooking and updating again! Tonight I fried boneless chicken breasts. Everyone loves fried chicken, dont they? It can be a little messy but if you keep on top of it with the dish rag it's not bad. As far as the seasoning goes, I used Angelo's Pork and Poultry rub but you can use Lawry's Season Salt and some garlic powder or really whatever you want to use.


Fried Chicken Breasts

Boneless chicken breast
3 Eggs
1/3 cup milk
Flour
Seasoning
Cooking oil

Mix the three eggs and the milk together. Pour about a cup of flour into a large bowl.

Pour enough oil in the pan so that it will cover about 1/3 of the thickness of the chicken. The oil level will rise once the chicken goes in. Once all of the chicken is in the pan, the oil should be and 1/2 the thickness of the chicken.

Go ahead and get the oil heating on med-high.

While the oil is heating, dip a breast into the egg/milk wash then season one side of the breast. Lay the seasoned side down in the flour then season the other side. Now flip the breast in the flour coating it good with flour.

When the oil is ready (throw a pinch of flour in the oil, if it bubbles up it's ready) carefully place the breast in the oil then repeat the process.

When the edges of the breast are getting golden brown grab some tongs and carefully lift the corner of the breast. If it's golden brown go ahead and turn it over. If not keep cooking until it's ready.

Once it's on the other side just check it after a few minutes to see if it's golden brown.

When it's all golden brown, remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak the oil. Now your chicken is ready!
