Crunchy Chicken Tid-Bits
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 5 cup flour (for batter)
- 5 eggs (for egg-wash)
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream (for egg-wash)
- 1 minced onion (to taste)
- 1 cayanne pepper (to taste)
- 1 black pepper (to taste)
- 1 salt (to taste)
- 1 minced garlic (to taste)
- 4 cup cooking oil for frying (I use vegetable oil, but really, any is fine)
- 1/2 cup oil (for marinating)
- After trimming the excess fat and skin, cut the chicken breasts into bite size chunks and put into large size ziplock bag.
- Add all the spices to taste into the bag, along with the half cup of oil.
- (I like extra garlic and cayanne pepper in mine!)
- Now shake it up!
- Make sure all the pieces are completely covered.
- Put in fridge to sit.
- Usually 30 minutes is fine, but I have done it overnight to let it really soak in.
- Heat the oil on medium heat (or until a drop of water "bounces" on it).
- Mix extra spices in one container with the flour, and beat the eggs with the heavy cream in another.
- Dip your chicken into the flour, than the egg-wash, than back into the flour.
- This helps it bind better and won't fall off quite so much in the pan.
- Add to oil carefully.
- Fry for about 7 mins, and then flip and cook another 5-6 mins til golden brown on both sides.
- Let drain on paper towels and enjoy!
