Description

I actually came up with this standing in the kitchen, deciding on what to eat. It was phenomenal! I paired mine with bacon-seared corn and brown rice. If you need a sauce for dipping, try a sweeter sauce (caramel-infused BBQ sauce comes to mind).

Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon sugar
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
Directions
  1. 1. Whisk egg, egg white, heavy cream, and garlic salt together in a small bowl.
  2. 2. Combine flour, cocoa powder, and cinnamon sugar in a separate small bowl.
  3. 3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. 4. Place half of the chicken into the egg mixture; let sit for 2 minutes. Remove chicken from egg mixture and place in the flour mixture, turning to coat all sides. Place the coated chicken pieces onto a paper towel. Repeat dipping the the remaining chicken in the egg mixture and the flour mixture.
  5. 5. Gently place the first batch of coated chicken in the hot oil; fry until chicken is cooked through and floats to the top, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate lined with fresh paper towels. Repeat frying with the second batch of chicken. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before eating.
