Cracker Barrel Sunday Homestyle Chicken - Copycat Recipe
Description
The recipe focuses on preparing chicken breast cutlets that are first thinned to an even thickness for uniform cooking. The chicken is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture, dipped into an egg wash, and coated with panko breadcrumbs, which contribute a crisp texture after frying.
Deep frying in properly heated avocado oil (between 325-375°F) ensures the breading forms a golden crust without absorbing excessive oil or burning the exterior. Cooking time is approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side. The final result is a crunchy outside with a moist and tender chicken interior.
Serving suggestions include classic sides such as mashed potatoes and green beans to complement the hearty fried chicken. Monitoring oil temperature with a thermometer is recommended to achieve optimal frying results and avoid sogginess or overcooking.
Ingredients
- 2-4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper ground
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ inches avocado oil for deep-frying
- 1 potato boiled and mashed for the side (optional)
Instructions
- If you find your chicken breasts are thick, thin them out into chicken cutlets using a meat pounder. You can also use a sharp knife to cut them to your desired thickness.
- Prepare egg wash by whisking 1 egg with 2 tbsp water.
- Combine flour with salt and pepper. Use this flour mixture to dredge the chicken in.
- Dip floured chicken in egg wash and coat with breadcrumbs as a final step.
- Pour the oil into a deep frying pan or skillet and set to high heat.
- When the oil is hot enough, deep-fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until cooked for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. It should turn golden brown.
- Serve with mashed potato and green beans. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is maintained between 325°F and 375°F for proper frying and crispy texture.
- Thinning chicken breasts to even thickness helps them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor oil temperature precisely and avoid over or under-cooking.
- The recipe yields a chicken crust that is golden brown with a tender interior when cooked properly.
