Southern Fried Chicken

Chicken Soup adds flavor and texture to this delicious dish.
Ingredients -
4 skinless, Boneless Chicken Breast Halves
1 (10.75 ounce) can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Egg
Seasoning Salt, to taste
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Oil for frying
 
Preparation:
In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.

In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).

Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces. Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the 'dough' into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.

Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.
