Chicken Marinade

Frying and Serving

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Breading the Chicken

  1. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and Italian herbs in the third.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge. Dredge each piece first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place breaded chicken on a rack.

Frying the Chicken

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

  3. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried chicken from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
