Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
In another shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Set up a breading station: one dish with the flour mixture, another with the egg mixture, and the third with the breadcrumb mixture.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the breaded chicken bites on a plate or tray. Repeat for all chicken pieces.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—it should sizzle immediately and turn golden quickly.
Fry the chicken bites in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chicken bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crisp chicken bites hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
