Hey there, foodies! As a supplier of salted crispy chicken, I'm always on the hunt for new and exciting ways to elevate our signature dish. One of my all-time favorite flavor combos is garlic and parmesan, and I've been experimenting with creating the perfect garlic - parmesan coating for our salted crispy chicken. In this blog post, I'll share with you how I make this delicious coating and how it can take your salted crispy chicken to the next level.
Ingredients
First things first, let's talk about the ingredients you'll need to make this garlic - parmesan coating. You don't need a whole bunch of fancy stuff; just the basics that you probably already have in your kitchen or can easily pick up at the grocery store.
- Parmesan cheese: You'll want about 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated is key here because it has a much better flavor and texture than the pre - grated stuff in the can.
- Garlic powder: Around 2 tablespoons of garlic powder. If you're a big garlic lover, you can add a bit more, but be careful not to overdo it.
- Salt: About 1 teaspoon of salt. This helps to bring out all the other flavors.
- Black pepper: Just a half - teaspoon of black pepper. It adds a nice little kick.
- Paprika: A teaspoon of paprika gives the coating a bit of color and a subtle smoky flavor.
- Breadcrumbs: You'll need about 2 cups of breadcrumbs. I like to use Italian - style breadcrumbs, but regular ones work just fine too.
Mixing the Coating
Now that we've got all our ingredients, it's time to mix them up. This part is super easy. Just grab a large bowl and add all the ingredients to it. Use a whisk or a fork to stir everything together until it's well - combined. Make sure there are no clumps of Parmesan or garlic powder left. You want the coating to be nice and even so that it sticks well to the chicken and gives an even flavor.
Preparing the Chicken
Before we start coating the chicken, we need to prepare it properly. I usually start with boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Cut them into bite - sized pieces. This makes them easier to cook and eat.
Next, you'll want to set up a little assembly line. Get three shallow dishes. In the first dish, crack an egg and whisk it up. This will act as a binder for the coating. In the second dish, put your mixed garlic - parmesan coating. And in the third dish, you can just leave it empty for the coated chicken pieces.
Take each piece of chicken, dip it first into the beaten egg, making sure it's completely coated. Then, transfer it to the dish with the coating and roll it around until it's fully covered in the garlic - parmesan mixture. Place the coated chicken pieces in the empty dish. Repeat this process until all the chicken is coated.
Cooking the Chicken
There are a few different ways you can cook the coated chicken. My favorite way is to bake it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to make cleanup easier. Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they're not touching each other.
Bake the chicken for about 20 - 25 minutes, flipping the pieces over halfway through the cooking time. You'll know the chicken is done when it's golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. You can also deep - fry the chicken if you prefer. Just heat up some oil in a deep pan or a fryer to about 375°F (190°C) and fry the chicken for about 3 - 5 minutes until it's crispy and golden.
Serving Suggestions
Once the chicken is cooked, it's time to enjoy! You can serve the garlic - parmesan salted crispy chicken on its own as a snack, or you can get a bit more creative. It's great in a sandwich with some lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of mayonnaise. You can also serve it with a side of fries or a fresh salad. And don't forget about dipping sauces! A simple garlic aioli or a ranch dressing goes really well with this chicken.
