Cooking Recipe Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
: BONE-IN BREASTS: 'Finger-bone' the breasts... you don't need
a knife to bone out a chicken breast... tear the skin off, turn over
(rib side up) and work fingers under 'keel' (breast) bone and tear
off. Work fingers between rib section and meat and pull away, ending
up at wing joint. Pull out wing joint section. One bone is left
buried in upper edge of meat (wishbone, or collar bone of chicken).
Pull bone towards bottom tip of breast, tearing it from meat and
yanking remaining cartilage away (left from keel bone). Voila!
Perfectly boned breast.
: On underside (rib side) of breast there's a long strip of
meat in center that can be pulled away. This is the 'tenderloin' of
the breast, or also known as the 'chicken tender'. Tear these off
whole. Remaining breast is flat. Cut lengthwise in half. Carefully,
with knife horizontal to cutting board, slice the thickness in half
for each piece. You should have 20 pieces... 4 from each breast and 4
tenders.
OIL: Heat the cup of vegetable oil on high in large skillet or
frying pan.
BREADING:
: Mix dry ingredients in a plastic bag, shaking well.
Increase/decrease/add/subtract as your tastebuds and preferences
warrant. Whip egg and milk 'til smooth in large bowl. Put all pieces
in bowl to thoroughly wet. Scoop out all meat and put in plastic bag,
don't bother draining, the more the merrier. Shake vigorously. Well,
shake the bag vigorously, you can stand still if you like.
FRYING: Place 4-6 pieces of meat in pan, frying 'til golden brown,
turning occasionally. Turn the meat...don't have your back to the
stove! Drain on paper towels.
SERVING: Eat at least one of the first pieces fried while frying the
rest, no one will ever know. Serve remaining pieces with any other
dishes you deserve... er, like. Asparagus and potatoes, spaghetti and
sauce, etc. (I had etc. the other night... it's only good when picked
fresh!)
NOTE: Breading mixture is great with fish fillet, liver,
chicken-fried steak, or anything else you like to panfry. You can
pre-mix in a large quantity and store in tightly covered jar or
canister and have ready to use. Be sure to shake well before
removing some for use (if in California, just leave on porch or under
a doorway..)
ENJOY!
