Chicken 'en Garlic



 
Fried Chicken is one of the most common variations of cooking chicken. Everybody loves to cook fried chicken at home especially with kids. It’s very quick and easy to prepare and it's is usually good for dinner! What I love for fried chickens are “every bite is a crunch!” Hmmmm.. nam.. nam…

This is my ever favorite simple recipe to make for my family and chicken is also one of our favorite too! I love to eat the crunch together with a chili sauce or gravy. We can’t resist taking another cup of rice whenever I’m cooking this at home… Well, I should do it just once in a while of course to observe our diet! We can always buy the ready to mix breading for this, but what I usually do is to make it from scratch which is very simple. Another thing why I love this recipe is because of its garlic flavor and the nice aroma which added the taste of the chicken more tasty. What I did is fry first the garlic into the heated cooking oil until brown so that the cooking oil will then have its own garlic flavor.

If you are fun of eating deep fried chicken, you must try this recipe!

 

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 pieces sliced chicken breast (you can also try it with leg part or wing if you like)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3-4 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 1 piece raw egg
  • 2 cups cooking oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, cut into halves

Procedure for Chicken 'en Garlic:
 
  1. Mix all-purpose flour, salt, ground black pepper, minced garlic and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together the egg and milk in another bowl. Set aside.
  3. Coat the chicken with salt about half teaspoon. Set aside for about 2-3 mins. Dip the chicken slices in the egg and milk mixture and roll in the flour mixture. Make sure that all the sides of the chicken are coated.
  4. Pour the cooking oil in the non-stick frying pan on high heat.
  5. When the oil becomes hot, fry the sliced garlic clove until brown and remove it from the pan.
  6. Lower the heat so that the inner part of the chicken will slowly cooked without burning the outer part or the breading. Deep fry the coated chicken for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the color turns golden brown.
  7. Turn the heat off and remove fried chicken from the pan.
  8. Prepare a clean plate and place a ply of kitchen tissue on it and transfer the fried chicken. (Tissue paper will absorb the remaining oil from the chicken leaving the chicken not oily).
  9. Serve hot. (You can serve with any sauce you like)
