Irresistible Fried Chicken Recipe: Better Than the Best!

Ingredients

• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 large egg
• seasoning salt to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish or bowl, thoroughly combine condensed soup, egg, and seasoning salt (use caution, as the soup is already salted). Dip each chicken piece into the mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, set aside.
2. In a resealable plastic bag, mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces one at a time, seal the bag, and shake to coat thoroughly. If needed, add more flour and cornstarch in equal parts to ensure even coverage.
3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or a large, deep saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces for even cooking.
4. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a platter and let them sit until the coating becomes slightly doughy. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness when frying. To test the oil, drop a small piece of the coating into it; the oil is ready when the coating begins to fry immediately.
5. Fry the chicken pieces in batches in the hot oil until they are fully cooked and the juices run clear. This typically takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Place the cooked chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.
