I was playing around with different recipes for chicken and came up with this one. The kids loved it, and even the (soon-to-be) mom-in-law devoured it.

Ingredients

55 mins
  1. 2 lbboneless, skinless chicken breast
  2. 5 cupflour (for batter)
  3. 5eggs (for egg-wash)
  4. 1 1/2 cupheavy cream (for egg-wash)
  5. 1minced onion (to taste)
  6. 1cayanne pepper (to taste)
  7. 1black pepper (to taste)
  8. 1salt (to taste)
  9. 1minced garlic (to taste)
  10. 4 cupcooking oil for frying (I use vegetable oil, but really, any is fine)
  11. 1/2 cupoil (for marinating)

Cooking Instructions

55 mins
  1. 1

    After trimming the excess fat and skin, cut the chicken breasts into bite size chunks and put into large size ziplock bag.

  2. 2

    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!)

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil on medium heat (or until a drop of water "bounces" on it).

  5. 5

    Mix extra spices in one container with the flour, and beat the eggs with the heavy cream in another.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    Fry for about 7 mins, and then flip and cook another 5-6 mins til golden brown on both sides.

  8. 8

    Let drain on paper towels and enjoy!
