Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Cut the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 2 cm cubes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Stations

    In one bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it well with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Frying the Chicken

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain the Chicken

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
