Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (0.9 kg) chicken breast
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Frying Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
Instructions
- Trim chicken breasts and slice into uniform, bite-sized chunks ensuring consistent cooking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley to create a well-seasoned coating mixture.
- Crack eggs into a separate bowl and gently beat until thoroughly combined.
- Dip each chicken piece into beaten eggs, ensuring complete coverage, then roll in seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to help coating adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for even frying.
- Carefully place coated chicken pieces into hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan to maintain optimal crispiness.
- Fry chicken fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating to achieve a golden-brown exterior and ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove fritters using a slotted spoon, placing them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Allow fritters to rest for 2-3 minutes, which helps retain crispiness and allows internal temperature to stabilize.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by dipping sauce or fresh herbs for enhanced flavor profile.
Notes
- Select chicken breasts with minimal fat for a leaner, cleaner fritter texture.
- Pat chicken pieces completely dry before coating to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Experiment with alternative flour options like almond or gluten-free blend for dietary restrictions.
- Use a digital thermometer to accurately monitor oil temperature, preventing burning or undercooking.
