Cooking chicken can be attributed to diet recipes, and therefore, dishes from it are very popular. With the addition of various ingredients and seasonings, its taste becomes more intense and original. One cooking option is chicken in batter. The recipe can be overpowered by any, even a novice hostess. This dish is prepared quickly and does not require a large set of products.
To prepare this culinary creation, you can take chicken fillet. Then there will be no need to waste time separating the fillet from the bones. It must be slightly discouraged. Since chicken meat is very delicate in its consistency, we place it in a plastic bag and carefully beat off with a kitchen hammer. Next, sprinkle meat with any spices. You can take salt and plain black ground pepper. If you like other seasonings, then feel free to add them. Here you can show your imagination and make the dish more saturated.
Now you can put the chicken fillet aside and start cooking batter. We take two eggs and beat them a little. Pour a little flour into a separate plate, which we mix with salt. We heat the pan and pour vegetable or other oil into it. Next, roll each piece of chicken into flour and then dip into the egg. Spread on a frying pan and fry briefly on all sides. It will be enough to hold 4 minutes on each side. We lay out on plates. Garnish with herbs and serve with a side dish. As a side dish, you can take mashed potatoes or rice. Vegetables are also quite appropriate for a chicken in a batter. The recipe is the basis for other options.
Before cooking, you can hold the chicken a little in the marinade. After that, it will become soft and tender. For the marinade, take the following ingredients. Mix lemon juice, vegetable oil, any chopped greens and a little salt. Then put the chicken in it and leave it for about 30 minutes. During this time, you can cook batter. We take the eggs and separate the proteins and yolks in a separate bowl. Mix the yolks with milk. Beat a little and add sour cream and flour. The consistency should be like a batter. After this, whisk the proteins with salt separately and carefully add them to the batter. Now dip each piece of chicken in a batter and fry in a pan. So the chicken is ready in batter. We complement the recipe with fresh vegetables, which we cut and lay on a plate along with the main dish.
And now the recipe for chicken in batter with cheese. First you need to cook chicken breast. We cut it with thick plates and slightly beat off. Then sprinkle it with seasonings, any pepper and salt. Then mix the yolk with mayonnaise in equal proportions and beat a little. In a separate bowl, beat the protein with salt. Combine these two mixtures and add the flour. Mix the batter well so that there are no lumps. It should turn out to look like not very thick sour cream. Next, dip the breast in batter and fry until brown on each side. We cut tomatoes, onions and garlic and fry them with the addition of vegetable oil. Then we take a baking sheet to bake chicken breast in the oven. We spread chicken on it, and put the fried vegetable mixture on top. Sprinkle the breasts with grated cheese and put in the oven.
After 30 minutes, the chicken in a batter in the oven with grated cheese is ready. Serve with vegetables and herbs. A light vegetable salad is good for this dish.
Now you know how to cook chicken in batter. The recipe can be varied by adding spices or other varieties of batter. It is also made with the addition of beer or mineral water. Thanks to these components, it becomes more airy and gentle. Instead of flour, you can use starch. You can also pre-marinate chicken in soy sauce, vegetable oil or lemon juice. This reduces cooking time and makes the chicken juicier.
