Turn your low carb bread into a crumb for FRIED CHICKEN!
It's simpler than you'd think and a fun recipe for you and your family to make and enjoy. By blitzing our Lighter White into a crumb in a food processor, you create an amazing ingredient with which to coat chicken, fish - even cheeses (deep fried brie anyone?) ! We've gone with the classic fried chicken here, but feel free to experiment.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of Heylo Lighter White
- 1 egg
- 1 chicken breast (or thigh)
- Enough cooking oil to submerge at least half the chicken in a pan
Directions
In a food processor, whizz up your bread to a crumb
Break your egg to a bowl and beat it. Add seasoning then add the chicken.
Add the crumbs to another bowl and take your chicken from the egg and place in the crumbs. Gently roll the crumbs over and then when covered, pat down a little so they stick well.
You can repeat the 2 steps above for a thicker crust if desired!
In a shallow pan, heat up your oil over a medium flame - you'll need the oil to be about 2cm deep.
Once hot and ready for frying carefully place in your chicken. Leave for a few minutes until golden brown and carefully turn over.
Once golden all over - leave on a rack rest a few minutes (the chicken will continue to cook) or transfer to a hot oven while you fry another piece.
