Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd.
5. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the Easy Fried Chicken Recipe hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra crispy chicken, you can double-dip the chicken pieces in the flour mixture before frying. You can also bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes instead of frying, if preferred.
