Deep Fried Chicken Recipe
Ingredients -
4 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
½ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
10 ¾ fl oz can condensed cream of chicken soup
Seasoning salt
1 egg
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Black pepper, to taste
½ cup cornstarch
Vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation:
Mix the egg, soup and seasoning salt together, not adding too much salt if the soup is already salty.
Dip the chicken pieces in this mixture, making sure they are coated evenly.
Combine the cornstarch, flour, paprika, garlic powder and pepper in a bag.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, shaking it well to coat them.
If you need to add more flour and cornstarch, add equal measures of each.
Put the chicken on a platter and leave it until it gets doughy.
This means it will become crispy when you fry it.
Heat the oil over a medium heat, using a heavy skillet.
Make sure there is enough oil to cover the chicken pieces.
Drop a little bit of the "dough" from the chicken in the oil.
If it starts to sizzle and fry, the oil is hot enough.
Fry the chicken breasts for about 8 minutes or until they are cooked through and the juices run clear.
