chicken fillet (chicken breast is better)
spices - a mixture of horseradish, dried celery root,
salt,
egg,
flour,
vegetable oil.
To get started, you need to prepare the chicken fillet: chop it - whoever loves finely, who is large, season with spices, not only the listed mixture of peppers and celery root are suitable, you can use any of your favorite chicken spices. Slightly salt the fillet, sprinkle with vegetable oil and let stand for at least half an hour, covering with a film or foil.
We prepare the chicken batter: beat the egg, slightly salt, add about 1 tablespoon of flour per 1 egg, a pinch of salt, mix well. The batter by consistency should be about a thick sour cream. This is a classic batter recipe, with the addition of cream, mustard or pepper, we get various flavoring options.
Dip the chicken into the batter. Sometimes they simply dip the chicken pieces in a beaten egg, then in flour. You can still dip in ground fried crackers, it will be nice to crunch, even without batter - in an egg, and then in crackers.
and spread on a well preheated pan with vegetable oil. It is advisable to take a pan with a thick-walled, cast-iron pan, do not cover with a lid, at most with a splitter divider.
When the chicken fillet turns white - turn over the pieces. Chicken in batter is ready, put it on lettuce leaves or supplement with a vegetable side dish.
Another delicious chicken batter - an egg, heavy cream, flour, a little vegetable oil, mustard and salt to taste, mix to a thick sour cream consistency. Leave the fillet directly in the batter to marinate for half an hour or an hour and you can fry.
And batter for mayonnaise lovers - add grated cheese, garlic and flour to mayonnaise to the desired consistency, the batter is ready.
Beer batter - one egg, 3 tablespoons of flour, seasoning for chicken and beer - to the consistency of sour cream.
Finely chopped greens can be added to any batter. And so it’s delicious!
Chicken fillet in batter - one of the many ways to cook chicken breasts deliciously and quickly (however, not necessarily breasts, it can be, for example, chicken thigh fillet). The batter forms a golden crust, which prevents the meat from drying out when frying.
Ideally, the chicken fillet pieces should be slightly beaten off, then they will be thinner and softer, but if there is no time or effort for this, then you can fry it without being beaten - it will still be delicious.

Cooking:
The chicken fillet must first be washed in running cold water, preferably blotted with a paper towel or napkins, then cut into portions. If desired, beat each piece of chicken lightly. Season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper and season with seasonings (if you wish, all this is best done on both sides).
Now prepare the batter. Break the eggs into a bowl, add about half a teaspoon of salt, mayonnaise. If desired, a little black ground pepper can be added to the batter.
Mix everything thoroughly, it would be nice with a mixer or whisk for whipping. If you have only a spoon - we interfere at a fast pace and long enough. In this photo you see that there are still "lumps" of mayonnaise.
But when the mass in the bowl becomes homogeneous after whipping, gradually add the flour and again thoroughly mix and beat so that there are no lumps of flour left. In terms of density, the resulting batter should look like liquid sour cream.
We will fry in a deep pan, but two options are possible. You can do it in deep fat, that is, pour a lot of vegetable oil, so that the bottom of the pan is covered with a layer of vegetable oil by 12-15 mm. Pieces of chicken in batter will almost float in hot oil. In this option, it is better to remove the finished pieces from the pan with a slotted spoon and lay them out first on a paper towel to remove excess oil, and only then transfer them to a plate. We prefer another option (you will see it in our photos and in our video recipe), when the chicken in batter is fried in a small amount of oil (so as to cover the bottom by 3-4 mm), the frying process will take a little longer, but it will not so bold. So, in any case, we strongly heat the pan with oil, after which we reduce the heating to a small one. We chop a piece of chicken fillet on a fork, dip it into the batter (the batter should cover the piece on all sides, if necessary, turn the piece of chicken directly in the batter) and put it in the pan. First, fry on one side until golden brown (lift a piece and look!), In our version it takes 8-10 minutes.
Then turn the pieces over and fry on the other side, too, until golden brown ( check out our recipe video!) It takes about the same amount of time.
Remove the finished pieces from the pan (if you, like us, were fried in a small amount of oil, and not deep-fried, you can immediately remove it on a plate or on a dish, but you can play it safe and put a paper towel on it). That's all, now you know how to cook. You can invite everyone to the table and lay out delicious ruddy pieces on plates.
You can always quickly prepare a deliciously fried chicken fillet in batter from batter for breakfast. This is a fairly simple way to cook chicken, and spoiling the dish is almost impossible. It is enough to defrost the fillet in advance, and all other ingredients, as a rule, are in any refrigerator.
The main function of batter is to create crusts around a product that is fried. This crust preserves all juices in meat, fish, poultry, and the fried product will be very juicy, which favorably affects the preservation of taste. Dipping foods in batter is a very convenient way to cook the baked chicken fillet, especially if you are not a big fan of white chicken.
Batter, batter - in the simplest case, it is a mixture of flour and eggs, diluted to the desired density with milk, cream or another liquid, such as wine. Sometimes, to give the batter a certain taste and consistency, yeast and soda are added to the mixture, beer is used as a liquid. By the way, it is very tasty if the batter is prepared with wine or beer, or for fried.
The main indicator by which the batter is evaluated is its viscosity, consistency. The thickness of the crust that forms during frying depends on this. A liquid batter that easily drains from the product will create a thin crust, a thick batter will create a thick crust. By the way, thick batter is great for cooking breaded bell pepper -.
Most often, the batter is made fresh, but spices, herbs are added to it. To remove the taste, you can add a little aromatic alcohol to the batter. In addition, batter can also be sweet, salty, spicy, etc. It all depends on the taste and which product will be fried.
