Lazy Fried Chicken

by Sara
Description

This is similar to the KFC chicken recipe but it uses a shorter list of spices for when you don't want to dig out 10 different spices.

Total time
45 minutes
Ingredients
1⁄2 c flour
1⁄2 c cornstarch
1⁄2 T salt
1⁄4 T black pepper
1⁄2 T garlic powder
1⁄4 T onion powder
1⁄4 T baking powder
1 egg
1 ds heavy cream
1 lb chicken breast
Instructions

Cut or tear the chicken breast into strip sized pieces. Tearing it makes nice nooks and crannies for the coating to stick to. Beat together the egg and cream mixture. Double batter the chicken and fry in oil (recommend avocado oil) on medium.

Notes

I'm not really sure of the science behind the addition of baking powder but it works to make the coating have more... surface area? It has something to do with the bubbles produced during frying. I'm not going to question it too much.
