CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN HASSELBACK STYLE

Ingredients:

Chicken breasts – 2

Egg - 1

All purpose flour - about 1/2 cup

Bread crumbs - as required /(a cup)

Oil - for deep frying

Salt and pepper- to taste

 

Method:

1.    Clean the chicken breast. Make cuts that are ½ cm thick,  ¾ way down into the breast piece all along the length. You may place the piece in between two chopsticks and then slice. This way you can ensure that you do not cut all the way through by mistake.

2.    Once the cuts have been made, the breast piece will look like an accordion.

3.    Season it with salt and pepper. You may use any other additional seasoning that you like.

4.    Break the egg into a large flat bowl in which the pieces of meat will fit in comfortably. Beat it and leave aside.

5.    Keep the flour in a large dish. Lift the meat and place it into the flour. Coat the chicken with the flour making sure not to miss out any of the cuts.

6.    Put it into the beaten egg. Coat well with the egg … especially the cuts.

7.    Lift the chicken and drain off the excess egg from it.

8.    Place it into the breadcrumbs and coat it well. Make sure to cover the cuts and folds. Shake off the excess crumbs.

9.    Let it rest in the fridge for 30 mins.

10. Heat oil in a wok or pan for deep frying. Fry the chicken in the medium hot oil till it is cooked. This should take 3-5 mins depending on the size of the chicken piece.

11. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with fries/wedges, mayonnaise and onion rings.
