Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breast or Chicken Cutlets
- 1 large egg
- 1 - 2 cups milk
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup corn flakes crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon pepper seasoned
Spicy Mayo Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 package ground beef or Brioche Buns
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- garlic salt
Instructions
- Place a cutting board on the counter, and place the Chicken Breasts, one at a time on the cutting board. Slice the Chicken Breasts in half. Wrap a small Kitchen Mallet in plastic wrap, and lightly pound the chicken breasts out until they're thin, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch (Or, if you choose you can buy Chicken Cutlets, but they are usually sliced a little thinner than the breasts sliced in half).
- In a Medium size bowl, add the Egg, and Milk, and stir well to blend. Place the Flour in a heavy plastic bag, (Ziploc bag) and add the Corn Flake Crumbs, Garlic Salt, Garlic Powder, Paprika, and Seasoned Pepper. Zip the bag closed, and shake gently to blend.
- Sprinkle the Chicken with Garlic Salt, and dip in the Egg/Milk mixture, then place it in the bag, and shake slightly, and remove the breast and place back in the Egg/Milk mixture, and then back in the bag, and shake gently to coat.
- Place the Chicken Breast into a deep fryer, such as a Fry-Daddy, or a Fry-Grand-daddy, with hot oil at approximately 375 degrees, and fry the Chicken Breasts for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until the breasts is a deep golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain excess oil.
