Instructions:
Filter the flour and mix all the ingredients for the coating. Grind them finely using a mortar and pestle, then put them in a clean plastic bag.
Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and then in the flour mixture in the bag. Ensure that you cover each piece entirely with the flour.
Warm up the oil in a frying pan. Cook the chicken in oil over low heat without covering it.
After browning the chicken, put a lid on the pan and continue cooking over low heat until the chicken is completely cooked.
Put on paper towels to remove the extra liquid.
Variations:
- Buttermilk Marinade: Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for a few hours or overnight before coating them. This will make the chicken more tender and add a tangy flavor.
- Spicy Version: Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the egg mixture or the flour coating for a spicy kick.
- Herb Mix: Experiment with different dried herbs like basil or dill in the flour mixture for a unique flavor profile.
- Crispy Coating: For extra crunch, add crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs to the flour mixture.
- Seasoned Flour: Mix in some grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast to the flour for added flavor.
- Oven-Baked Option: Instead of frying, coat the chicken and bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30-40 minutes for a healthier option.
- Sweet and Savory: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the cooked chicken for a sweet contrast to the savory spices.
