Ingredients
- 750 g chicken breast
- 1 bottle of mineral water
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- Thyme, black pepper, paprika, salt, curry
- 1 egg
- Liquid oil
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with thyme, black pepper, paprika, salt, and curry powder. Season generously!
- Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, mineral water, and flour. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the wet batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Rest and Relax: Let the coated chicken rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the coating to set.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken breasts and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Here’s the Secret Tip: Start by frying on low heat to ensure the chicken cooks evenly throughout, then increase the heat to medium to achieve that crispy perfection.
- Drain and Enjoy: Once cooked through, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
