Delicious, crunchy fried chicken. This recipe came from the "AllRecipes" site. I'm sure you could always play around with the spices for a variety of flavors!

Provided by Rick B2

Categories     Healthy

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (Cut each half lengthwise into 2 pieces to create a total of 8 pieces)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1 egg
seasoning salt (to taste)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper (to taste)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine soup, egg and seasoned salt in a bowl and set aside (soup is already salted so be careful on amount of seasoned salt you add).
  • Mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Dip chicken pieces into soup mixture and turn so as to coat all over.
  • Place chicken pieces (one at a time) in bag with flour mixture, seal bag and shake to coat chicken (if more flour mixture is needed, add equal amounts of flour and cornstarch to bag).
  • Place coated pieces of chicken on a platter and allow to set until the coating becomes doughy (this is critical to ensure crispiness when fried).
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a skillet over medium heat, using enough oil to cover chicken pieces when fried (you can test oil in skillet by dropping a piece of the doughy coating into the hot oil- oil is ready when dough begins frying immediately).
  • Once chicken is doughy, fry pieces in oil for approx 5-8 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  • Drain pieces on paper towel and serve.
