Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups of cornflakes, crushed
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. To begin, preheat your frying oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure both sides are fully coated.
5. Next, roll the chicken in the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks to the chicken evenly.
6. Once your oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding.
7. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining chicken breasts, adding more oil if necessary.
10. Serve your mouthwatering flourless fried chicken hot and crispy, alongside your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
Tips and Variations:
- If you prefer a spicier taste, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the cornflake mixture.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to suit your preferences.
- For extra crunch, you can double coat the chicken by dipping it in egg and cornflake mixture twice.
- If you’re avoiding eggs, you can use buttermilk or even mayonnaise as a substitute.
- Instead of frying, you can bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F (205°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier alternative.
