Fried Chicken

 My hubby loves fried chicken and found this recipe on allrecipes.com so we tried it out tonight. It turned out really yummy. We both contributed to making this so I don't want to take the credit.

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 egg
• seasoning salt to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for frying

Directions

1. In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
2. In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture). We went ahead and doubled this portion to start with because we had more chicken and it was NOT boneless): 1 cup flour, 1 cup cornstarch, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1tsp paprika, and sprinkled salt and pepper.
3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
4. Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the "dough" into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
5. Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels and serve.
