Comfort Foods: Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is the ultimate comfort food!

But I think a lot of people have trouble trying to make it, and make it healthy.

Well, today's recipe is a little different than most gourmet momma recipes, because its not really a recipe at all, more of some guidance tips to create the chicken you desire.

I am going to give you three different techniques to make this dish, and you can decide which one suits your taste best! :)

Method 1:

Cracker crumbs or Shake and Bake for chicken

Chicken pieces

Egg wash (3-4 eggs and 2-3 Tbsp water mixed)

--Dip your chicken in the egg wash, then shake in the cracker crumbs or shake and bake, then place on cookie sheet and spray with Olive Oil Spray.

--Cook 35-45 min. on 350 or until done on the inside.

Method 2:

Chicken pieces

cooking oil (canola)

--seasoning of choice (I like cajun seasoning)

--coat chicken liberally with seasoning and bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-40min. or until no blood comes through.

--heat oil until ready to fry (350-375 degrees)

--drop chicken into frying oil for 3-4min. until brown.

Method 3:

chicken breasts (boneless/skinless)

bread crumbs

egg wash

flour

--Coat chicken in flour, then egg wash, then bread crumbs

--place on cookie sheet and spray with oilive oil cooking spray

--cook on 350 15-20min., turn to other side and spray with oil, and cook another 10-15min.

(GREAT for chicken Parmesan!)
