Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure to coat both sides evenly.
- 2
Breading and Frying
- 3
Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix well until evenly blended.
- 4
Dredge the Chicken
First, dip each seasoned chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, dredge in the breading mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of the breading mixture into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- 6
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
