Ingredients
tick what you already have - the rest goes on your shopping listHow to Make It
- 1
Prepare dredging stations: In one shallow dish, whisk 125 g all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. In another, whisk 1 large egg with 60 ml milk.
- 2
Pound two boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Dredge each breast first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, then again in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- 3
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken and drain on a wire rack.
- 4
To make gravy: Drain the oil from the skillet and melt 30 g butter in it. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 240 ml milk and 50 ml heavy cream, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken immediately, topped with gravy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chicken Fried Chicken?
Chicken Fried Chicken is a United States dish consisting of a breaded, fried chicken breast topped with a creamy white gravy. It is typically served as a main course for lunch or dinner in Southern American cuisine.
Which type of chicken cut is best for Chicken Fried Chicken?
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin, are ideal for even cooking and a tender result. Chicken thighs can also be used for a richer flavor but a slightly different texture.
How can I ensure the crispy coating sticks to the chicken and doesn't fall off?
Pat the chicken very dry before dredging, and firmly press the flour mixture onto each side. Avoid overcrowding the pan during frying to maintain oil temperature and allow the coating to crisp properly.
What is the ideal frying temperature for Chicken Fried Chicken, and how do I know when it's cooked through?
Fry at 325-350°F (160-175°C) until the coating is golden brown. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
What's the best way to make a smooth, lump-free cream gravy?
Whisk the flour and melted butter (roux) continuously until smooth before slowly adding the milk, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
