DELICIOUS FRIED CHICKEN BREAST



Delicious Fried Chicken Breast image

Better than fast food takeout, brining is the key to this tender juicy chicken, any leftovers can be stuffed in between a crusty bun topped with mayo, mustard and a leaf of lettuce, this also works well using bone-on chicken pieces but frying time will need to be adjusted --- plan ahead the chicken needs to soak in the buttermilk for 8-24 hours (24 hours is even better). Try to purchase large thick chicken breasts for this to make the slicing in half easier, use a sharp knife for slicing. I usually serve this with my recipe #149547 --- if you cannot find Old Bay seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt in place of regular salt --- you will *love* this fried chicken! :)

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 egg
seasoning salt to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 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).
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
  • Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). 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.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch in the coating. The cornstarch helps create a golden-brown crust.
  • For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the flour mixture.
  • Use buttermilk to marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes. Buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps the coating adhere.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying. The ideal temperature is between 350°F and 375°F (175°C - 190°C). If the oil is too hot, the chicken will burn; if it is too cold, the chicken will be greasy.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
