Better Than Best Fried Chicken
Crispy fried chicken that’s seasoned to perfection with a creamy coating and a flavorful batter.
Ingredients
- condensed cream of chicken soup (0.298 can)
- egg (1 large)
- seasoning salt (0 )
- skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (4 )
- all-purpose flour (0.12 cup)
- cornstarch (0.12 cup)
- garlic powder (0.5 teaspoon)
- paprika (0.5 teaspoon)
- salt and pepper (0 )
- oil (0 )
Instructions
- Combine condensed soup, egg, and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted) in a shallow dish or bowl; mix well. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
- Mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken pieces, one at a time, in the bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
- Place coated chicken on a platter; allow to sit until outside becomes doughy (this is critical to ensure crispiness when fried). Once chicken coating is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of coating into it; oil is ready if it starts to fry immediately.
- Working in batches, fry chicken pieces in hot oil until cooked through and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve.
