Lemon Fried Chicken Bites crispy and golden
Ingredients for 5 servings
- 10.5 oz (300 g) of wheat flour
- 4 chicken breast fillets
- 1 or 1/2 lemon
- 2 cloves of garlic, deveined (to be crushed in a mortar)
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 8 tbsp of flour
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: fresh parsley, heavy cream for the homemade sauce I suggest as an accompaniment
Step-by-step recipe
1 Cut your fillets into medium-sized pieces.
2 In a deep plate, mix the olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the lemon zest and juice. Crush the garlic in a mortar and mix with the rest. Then cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, so that the lemon aroma is well infused.
3 Ten minutes before taking out your chicken pieces, heat the frying oil. Drain the pieces.
4 In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them vigorously with salt. Then, dip your chicken pieces in the beaten eggs in a deep plate. In a flat plate, arrange the flour.
5 Toss the pieces back and forth in the flour plate.
6 When the oil is very hot, plunge the pieces and let fry for 6 minutes. Then remove them and place them on parchment paper to remove excess oil. For your lemon sauce, beat the remaining eggs with lemon, heavy cream (1 tablespoon), salt, pepper. Finally, add a few sprigs of fresh parsley for final decoration and drizzle your chicken with a little lemon.
