3-INGREDIENT PESTO FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Pour oil into a large heavy skillet fitted with thermometer to come 1/2" up sides. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish or rimmed baking sheet.
- Season chicken all over with salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup pesto all over chicken. Dip chicken into breadcrumbs, turning to coat and pressing with your fingertips to adhere.
- Carefully add chicken to hot oil, then reduce heat to medium. Fry 4 minutes, then flip and continue to fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve chicken with pesto alongside for dipping.

[email protected]Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the pesto sauce was delicious. However, I think I'll make a few changes next time. I'll use less salt, brine the chicken, and try a simpler recipe.
