Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the ingredients. For this dish, you can use fillets cut into pieces or whole thighs; they are neat and compact, great for frying. If the chicken is purchased, then it is better (if time permits) to soak the chicken meat for about an hour in cold salted water. The meat will become soft, and all harmful substances will come out of the product. If you use fillet for frying, then beat the pieces of meat with a kitchen hammer.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare the batter. Beat a couple of chicken eggs into a bowl. Add salt and ground black pepper, beat with a whisk or fork until a mixture of homogeneous consistency is formed, so that the chicken eggs are completely dispersed.

Step 3

Step 3
Add milk and two tablespoons of flour to the mixture, stir again until the flour is completely dispersed and no lumps form.

Step 4

Step 4
Grate the hard cheese and place it in a bowl with the batter, stirring again.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the chicken pieces one at a time in a bowl with the batter, turn them over several times so that the meat is completely covered with the cheese and egg mixture. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom. Letʼs warm it up.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the battered chicken pieces on the hot oil. Fry the chicken over medium heat. When the batter is well browned on one side, turn the chicken pieces over to the other side. Fry them on the other side until golden brown. Then cover the pan with a lid and fry the chicken under the lid for about 15 minutes. Frying time depends on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces. For thin pieces of sirloin, frying up to 5 minutes is enough, and for thighs — up to 15 minutes.

Step 7
Remove the meat from the pan and serve with fresh vegetables and any side dish. Bon appetit!
