Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preparing Coating

  1. 3

    Set Up Coating Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, cornstarch, dried oregano, and garlic powder.

Coating the Chicken

  1. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove chicken from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
