The story behind this recipe
I find it fun to prepare a fast food recipe that everyone loves, but to give it that healthy touch.
I don't have children, but I do have a husband who, no matter how much he supports my healthy lifestyle, still gets fast food cravings, and that's normal. Even I do!!
After long negotiations, I promised him I'd make KFC-style Crispy Strips, complete with sauce, crunch, and french fries.
I gathered several ideas from a few recipes and got to work.
We need:
Chicken breast - about 300g for two
Eggs - 2 pcs
Flour - enough to coat the chicken
Cornflakes (unsweetened) - enough to coat the chicken
Paprika, salt, garlic powder, pepper
Alongside the Crispy, I made french fries (in the oven at a high temperature of 250°C), coleslaw, and a mayonnaise sauce with herbs and garlic.
But all of this is optional.
Let's continue with the chicken.
I cut the chicken breast into strips and left them in the fridge seasoned with salt and pepper.
After a few hours, I took them out and coated them in the mixture: everything combined - flour, paprika, pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
I beat the eggs with salt and passed each piece of chicken through the mixture.
The cornflakes need to be crushed slightly by hand because they are too large for the chicken pieces.
I then coated the chicken in the flakes and placed each piece on parchment paper.
Pop them into a very well-preheated oven (if possible with a fan) for 10 minutes.
I saved you a trip to KFC :)
Enjoy!
