Savory Fried Chicken


Too hot to run the oven here in New England this week.   I went searching through my "on deck" recipes to find something that I could cook quickly on the stovetop.  This recipe from Cooking Light sounded great.  I subbed Penzey's Black and Red Spice for the black pepper and red pepper and held all the salt until the end.
I always make the same mistake, I prep all the chicken and stack it on a plate and while the oil gets hot, the chicken becomes a sticky mess.   Either lay it out on a cooling rack or do what I did and give it another quick dredge through the flour before you pop it in the oil.      I had mine with a little Sriracha drizzle, but the chicken itself was spicy enough for both of my guys.

Ingredients

  • 1 package thinly sliced chicken breasts
  • 1 large egg -- lightly beaten
  • 2/3c flour
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2t Penzey's Black and Red
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Kosher salt
  • Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Heat oil to 375 degrees.
  2. Place beaten egg in one shallow pan (I like to use cake pans). In another, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, Black & Red spice.
  3. Dip chicken in egg and then dredge in flour mixture. Shake off excess and place on a cooling rack over a half sheet pan (if chicken gets sticky while it sits, give it another quick dredge through the flour mixture).
  4. Fry until golden brown on both sides and chicken is cooked through. Lay on a paper towel lined platter, sprinkling both sides with kosher salt. Serve with Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
