Easy Crispy Fried Chicken

Recipe:

Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken. You can cook different parts of the chicken, including wings and breast fillets, using the method described in this recipe. Note that if the fillets are cut into strips that are not very thick, finishing in the oven is not necessary.
• Flour. You can use any type of wheat flour for this recipe except whole wheat. Rice or oat flour will also work well.
• Eggs. Instead of whole eggs, you can use egg whites, such as those left over from making crème brûlée. Calculation for substitution: 1 egg – 50-55 g, one egg white – about 30 g.
• Mustard. You can use Dijon, honey or American yellow mustard. Grainy mustards are not suitable in this case.
• Spices. This recipe uses a basic set of seasonings consisting of salt, ground black pepper, and dried garlic. If you want to add more flavor to the chicken, you can add smoked paprika or a little ground ginger.
• Garlic. Garlic powder or granulated garlic works well. It is not possible to substitute fresh garlic in this case.

Let’s start cooking.

Cut the chicken legs into pieces. Separate the drumstick and remove the bone from the thigh. Cut the thigh into 2 pieces.

For the egg wash, beat eggs with water and mustard with a fork.

Mix dry ingredients for rolling.

Dip chicken pieces in breading and shake off excess.

Dip in egg wash.

Roll again in the flour mixture.

Fry in hot oil for a few minutes until browned. The temperature of the oil should be 170-175°C (340-350°F).

Transfer the fried chicken pieces to paper towels to absorb excess fat.

Then transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in a 200°C (390°F) preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Serve.

Enjoy!
