Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large chicken breast
- 2 eggs
- 300 g unsweetened corn flakes
Marinade:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 dash lemon juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Pepper flakes (optional)
Breading:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Frying oil
Instructions
- Slice chicken breast into varied-sized chunks, ensuring each piece is roughly bite-sized for consistent cooking.
- Combine 2 cups milk, minced garlic, paprika, ginger powder, pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Submerge chicken pieces completely in marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to enhance flavor penetration.
- Prepare three separate shallow dishes: one with 2 beaten eggs, another with 1 cup flour mixed with pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika, and the third with coarsely crushed corn flakes.
- Heat approximately 3 cm of frying oil in a large pan to 350°F, maintaining a steady medium-low temperature.
- Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess liquid drip off for a few seconds.
- Coat each chicken piece first in seasoned flour mixture, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally roll thoroughly in crushed corn flakes.
- Carefully lower breaded chicken into hot oil, cooking for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer fried chicken to paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain and maintaining crispy exterior.
- Serve immediately alongside your favorite accompaniments like salad or fries for maximum crunchiness and flavor.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken overnight for maximum flavor penetration and tenderness.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil stays around 350°F for perfectly crispy exterior.
- Pat the chicken pieces completely dry before coating to help the breading adhere better.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with rice flour or cornstarch and use gluten-free cornflakes for coating.
