Crunchy Chicken Pieces Recipes

Steps:

• 1.Pre-heat oven to 350°F. 2.In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, contents of seasoning package and the flour. Toss until chicken is evenly coated. 3.In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. 4.Place the tortilla strips into a gallon size re-sealable storage bag and close. Using a rolling pin, roll over the bag until the strips are finely crushed. Transfer to a mixing bowl or shallow pan. 5.Shaking off any excess flour/seasoning mixture, place the chicken first into the eggs and coat, then roll the pieces in the crushed tortilla strips until they are well coated. Arrange on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to ensure the chicken cooks evenly on all sides. 6.Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned and the internal temperature reads 165°F on a thermometer. Serve warm with dipping sauce of your choice.

Steps:

• Combine soup, egg and seasoned salt in a bowl and set aside (soup is already salted so be careful on amount of seasoned salt you add).
• Mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
• Dip chicken pieces into soup mixture and turn so as to coat all over.
• Place chicken pieces (one at a time) in bag with flour mixture, seal bag and shake to coat chicken (if more flour mixture is needed, add equal amounts of flour and cornstarch to bag).
• Place coated pieces of chicken on a platter and allow to set until the coating becomes doughy (this is critical to ensure crispiness when fried).
• Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a skillet over medium heat, using enough oil to cover chicken pieces when fried (you can test oil in skillet by dropping a piece of the doughy coating into the hot oil- oil is ready when dough begins frying immediately).
• Once chicken is doughy, fry pieces in oil for approx 5-8 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
• Drain pieces on paper towel and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the eggs, seasoning, sauce, and garlic thoroughly.
• Gently fold in the chicken pieces and let sit in the fridge for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
• Roll each chicken piece into the crushed corn chips and place on a baking tray.
• Bake for 50 minutes, rotating the tray around the oven front to back and top to bottom after half way - 25 minutes.
• In the last 10 minutes in the oven, sprinkle the grated cheese on top :-) or as an alternative, serve with some cream cheese - that's what I did for my photo's version :-).

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with Essence. Pour 2 cups of the buttermilk over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain. Season the flour with Essence. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining buttermilk. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces back in the seasoned flour, coating each piece of the chicken completely. Carefully lay the chicken in the hot oil. Fry the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a 15x10 inch pan with foil, spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cube the chicken into nugget size pieces or a little bigger. On a plate, mix the cornflakes, paprika, salt and pepper. On another plate, beat the egg until thoroughly mixed. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg, then the cornflake mixture. Place the chicken onto the pan and drizzle with the butter.
• Bake twenty minutes or until brown on top, turning once. Please check to make sure they are done, as different breasts are of different thicknesses.

Steps:

• Cut each chicken wing at joints to make 3 pieces.
• Discard wing tips or save for making chicken broth.
• Mix egg, 2 tsp.
• vegetable oil, the soy sauce, sugar, and five spice powder; pour over chicken.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Add water to chicken.
• Stir flour, cornstarch, and baking soda into chicken.
• Heat vegetable oil (1 1/2 inches) in wok (we use a deep fryer) to 350 degrees.
• Fry 4 or 5 chicken pieces at a time until light brown, turning 2 or 3 times, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towel.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce or hot mustard.
• 6 servings

Steps:

• Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
• Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
• Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
• Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.

Steps:

• Rub the chicken all over with the vinegar.
• Combine salt, pepper& curry powder and rub this mixture into the chicken.
• Mix flour& water together to make a paste about the thickness of yogurt, coat the chicken pieces (dip the chicken into the batter).
• Heat the oil in a skillet and when it is hot add chicken pieces.
• Keep a good constant sizzle to the frying chicken but regulate the heat so it does not burn the chicken.
• After 2 minutes rotate the chicken (do not flip yet) so the pieces are getting even heat& crispness on all the edges.
• After another 2 minutes (4 minutes total) flip the chicken and continue cooking the other side.
• Sprinkle with a little juice or vinegar just before serving.

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a wide shallow dish and stir in the garlic. Slice the chicken into chunky slices, about 9.5cm long x 3-4cm wide. Lay the chicken in the dish and turn it over in the buttermilk so it is well coated. Leave in the fridge for 1-2 hrs, or preferably overnight.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, non-stick frying pan and tip in the panko crumbs and flour. Toast them in the pan for 2-3 mins, stirring regularly so they brown evenly and don't burn. Tip the crumb mix into a bowl and stir in the paprika, mustard, thyme, chilli powder, pepper and a pinch of fine sea salt. Set aside.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Line a baking tin with foil and sit a wire rack (preferably non-stick) on top. Transfer half the crumb mix to a medium-large plastic bag. Lift half the chicken from the buttermilk, leaving the marinade clinging to it. Transfer it to the bag of seasoned crumbs. Seal the end of the bag and give it a good shake so the chicken gets well covered (you could do all the crumbs and chicken together if you prefer, but it's easier to coat evenly in 2 batches).
• Remove the chicken from the bag. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, then add the chicken pieces and fry for 1½ mins without moving them. Turn the chicken over, pour in another ½ tbsp of the oil to cover the base of the pan and fry for 1 min more, so both sides are becoming golden. Using tongs, transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining seasoned crumbs, oil and chicken.
• Bake all the chicken on the rack for 15 mins until cooked and crisp, then serve with the Crunchy coleslaw (see 'Goes well with', below right).
