Tasty Tuesday: Homemade Fried Chicken!

Mommy Octopus — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:30:34 +0000

Okay who DOESN’T love fresh, homemade fried chicken? It is a favorite around this house! Fried chicken doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, it can be super simple and very tasty! This week’s Tasty Tuesday is going to show you how incredible easy it is to make fried chicken!

Ingredients:

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – enough for your family
All purpose flour
Buttermilk
Salt
Canola Oil

First step – Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips or nugget size pieces. This is some of the chicken that I received from Zaycon Foods.

Next, soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least an hour. Plain milk will work in a pinch, but buttermilk is best.

When the chicken has been soaked for at least an hour, go ahead and heat up a skillet of oil Place about 2 inches of oil in the skillet and heat on medium for a few minutes until the oil is ready.

Coat the chicken with all purpose flour (no seasonings and nothing else added) and gently place into the hot oil.

Cook until browned, gently turning halfway through.

Place cooked chicken on a plate lined with paper towels and lightly salt while they are still hot.

Mmmmm…. these are so yummy! Words doesn’t even begin to describe it! I know you’ll love them too! Give it a try and see what you think!

Huge thanks to my friend Janet for sharing her recipe with me.
