Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1 large Egg
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Vegetable oil - to fry

Method
 

  1. Keep all the chicken breast pieces in two plastic wraps. Take a meat mallet and lightly pound them with it till it becomes 1/4" thick.
  2. Whisk together egg and milk in a one shallow bowl. Take another shallow bowl and pour flour, spices, salt, and cornstarch in it; whisk all ingredients together. Ensure your dredging station is all-ready.
  3. At first, dredge the chicken pieces in milk and afterward in a flour blend. Keep repeating the process until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Keep the pieces in the fridge and start preparing your preferred choice of gravy.
  4. Fry the pieces: Take a large-sized skillet and set it over a medium heat flame. Stream 1/2" to 1" oil and heat it till gets hot. One by one, fry all the chicken pieces for 8 minutes or until they take up some golden-brown hue. Drain the excess oil by laying all the pieces on a plate lined with a paper towel.
  5. Bring on some gravy and serve chicken.
