Southern Style Breaded Chicken for 2

Today, my working teenager had brought us to the local Western restaurant to have a brunch since we woke up late.

Hitting two meals at one go, brunch was the best way to settle breakfast and lunch at the promotion time.

Let me introduce you my set of brunch that I had ordered; Southern Style Breaded Chicken which was fulfilling and super tasty.

This chicken recipe is suitable for Christmas Day dinner or Thanksgiving dinner too.

I was afraid that this set of brunch wasn’t sufficient to fulfill my hunger pangs but surprisingly with my huge appetite, this chicken recipe had managed to satisfied my hunger pangs with contentment.

After checking out the contents in the Southern Style Breaded Chicken meal, I managed to figure out how to cook this meal with an easy way out.

How to prepare

You will need to buy chicken breast and remove the bones manually.

Alternatively, you can buy chicken fillets or chicken keel which do not have any bones at all.

Coat the chicken with fritter batter. Look at the below recipe how to prepare the batter.

Remember that you need to mix the batter well, supposed to be creamy and thick in order to coat the chicken meat.

Then use the breadcrumbs or instant oats to coat the chicken meat before deep frying.

You can also use the baking method to bake the breaded chicken in the oven.

This is a healthier version of making this chicken dish but it will take a longer time, approximately 45min to bake them while deep frying takes 15-20min.
