step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare the chicken
- Slice the chicken breast fillets thinly or pound them flat for even cooking.
- Season the chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Step 2
Make the breading station
- Mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper in a bowl.
- Beat the eggs with the milk in a second bowl.
- Step 3
Coat the fillets
- Dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour, pressing so it sticks.
- Dip it into the egg and milk mixture.
- Coat again in the flour mixture for a thick, crispy crust.
- Step 4
Heat the oil
- Pour the vegetable oil into a pan and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
- Step 5
Fry the chicken
- Fry the coated fillets in the hot oil, without crowding the pan.
- Turn them so they cook evenly until deep golden and cooked through.
- Step 6
Drain and serve
- Transfer the fried fillets to a cooling rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot and crispy.
