BREADED FRIED CHICKEN

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying (about 5 cups)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
3 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken parts (breasts halved crosswise)

Steps:

  • Fill a large cast-iron skillet with 1 inch of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk in another large bowl. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Return the chicken to the flour mixture and turn until well coated. Transfer to a large plate or baking sheet.
  • Carefully add about half the chicken to the hot oil (do not crowd the skillet). The oil temperature will drop; adjust the heat as needed to maintain a temperature of 350 degrees F. Fry the chicken, without turning, until the crust starts browning, about 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp all over and a thermometer inserted into the breasts registers 160 degrees F and the thighs 170 degrees F, 13 to 16 minutes. Remove with tongs and transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Let the oil temperature return to 350 degrees F before frying the remaining chicken.

BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 slices white bread or 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs*
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
About 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, beaten
4 boneless skinless chicken breast, each about 6 ounces
1/3 to 1/2 cup oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make bread crumbs: Trim the crust off the bread and discard, tear bread into pieces. Spread bread out on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute to dry out the bread. (Alternately, spread the bread out on a baking sheet and dry in a preheated 300 degree F oven for 22 to 25 minutes.) Pulse the dried bread or crumbs in a food processor with the thyme, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • With the flat side of a cook's knife or the smooth side of a meat-pounder, pound each breast to equal thickness. Put the flour, eggs, and the bread crumbs each separately in 3 shallow dishes. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the breast through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess fall back into the bowl. Finally, lay the chicken in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press it into the breading to coat. Lay on a piece of waxed paper.
  • Heat a large skillet (12 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the oil. Lay 2 chicken breasts smooth-side down in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining 2 breasts. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Place all 4 breasts on a rack over a baking pan and bake until firm to the touch, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
  • Serving suggestion: Lemon wedges, thyme sprigs for garnish .

Tips

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken breasts before breading and frying. This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and stays juicy.
  • Use a buttermilk marinade to soak the chicken breasts in before breading and frying. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the chicken.
  • Use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and bread crumbs for the breading. This will help to create a crispy crust on the chicken.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the chicken. This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and quickly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
