How to make church’s chicken fries
To make Church's Chicken fries, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Here's a step-by-step guide to make Church's Chicken fries:
1. Cut the chicken breasts into long, thin strips, resembling the shape of French fries.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired) to create the coating mixture.
3. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow bowl.
4. Dip each chicken strip into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the flour mixture. Ensure that each strip is evenly coated.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully add the coated chicken fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if needed.
7. Cook the chicken fries for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally for even cooking.
8. Once cooked, transfer the chicken fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve the Church's Chicken fries hot and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.
Note: Church's Chicken fries are typically crispier and seasoned differently compared to regular French fries. You may adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
To make Church's Chicken fries, follow these steps:
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the chicken: Start by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. Each strip should be about 1/2 inch wide.
3. Prepare the flour coating: In a shallow dish, mix together all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your coating mixture.
4. Dip the chicken strips: Take each chicken strip and dip it into a beaten egg, making sure it's fully coated. Then, transfer the chicken to the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it is well coated on all sides.
5. Repeat the coating process: Repeat the dipping and coating process with the remaining chicken strips.
6. Place on a baking tray: Arrange the coated chicken strips on a greased or lined baking tray, making sure they are not touching each other.
7. Bake in the oven: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them as is or with your favorite dipping sauces.
