Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 100 g All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 30 ml Milk
- 150 g Breadcrumbs
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes. Set them aside on a plate.
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This will be your seasoned flour coating.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Set up a breading station with the seasoned flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture in a row.
Coat each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken piece into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully submerged and covered with the egg wash.
Finally, press the chicken piece into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or large pot over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when it reaches 175°C (350°F) or when a small piece of bread dropped in the oil sizzles and floats to the surface.
Carefully fry the chicken bites in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F).
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Crispy Crunchy Chicken Bites immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
