Ingredients

Cost per serving $0.45 view details
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c. white flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 small boneless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 c. vegetable oil (or possibly any other frying oil)
  • 2 paper towels

Directions

  1. Mix flour and Cajun seasoning in small mixing bowl.In separate bowl, beat egg.
  2. Cut chicken breasts in small pcs ranging anywhere from about a 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch in size, depending on how crispy you want (smaller=crispier).
  3. Pour oil into a small frying pan and place on a medium heat.
  4. Dip pcs of chicken into egg, being sure they are fully covered.
  5. Drop the chicken, piece by piece into the flour mix, fully coating the chicken.
  6. Test to be sure which the oil is ready by dropping a little glob of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and fries, it's ready! Now, slide the chicken into the frying pan, easily and slowly to be sure the oil doesn't splatter all over you. Do this as quickly as possible. After about 3-4 min, flip the pcs over (pcs should be colored a light golden).
  7. When chicken is finished, scoop it out draining as much oil as possible into the pan for more chicken and place it on a plate with the two paper towels lining the bottom.
  8. This will catch and drain the excess oil so your chicken is super crunchy.
  9. My best serving suggestion is buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
