Here’s how to make sure you get crunchy crumbed chicken every time.
- Heat some oil in a pan. Wait until the oil is hot – between 170°C and 180°C is best – before you add the chicken.
- Fry the chicken until the crumbs are golden brown. It should take about 8 to 10 minutes to cook both sides. Make sure you cook the chicken for long enough – if you don’t, the crumbs will be soggy and the meat undercooked. If the crumbs brown too quickly, reduce the heat.
- Pop the cooked chicken onto some kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
