PRE COOKING FRIED CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Place thawed chicken breast tenderloin strips in a bowl of milk. Let soak for 20-30 min.
• Mix remaining ingredients except butter in a large bag.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut butter into a few pieces and place in a large pan. Melt butter in pre-heated oven. Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan, make sure that there are no dry spots.
• Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix by shaking the chicken in the bag, until coated. Place each piece of chicken in the pan.
• Cook for 20 min. Turn each piece of chicken and continue cooking for 20 more minutes, or until cooked through.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
• In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
• Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the "dough" into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
• Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.
