Crispy Rice Cereal Coated Fried Chicken Recipes

CRISPY RICE CEREAL-COATED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour the oil halfway up the sides of a very large cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a second rimmed baking sheet with a cooling rack. While the oil heats, combine the flour and House Seasoning in a shallow dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish. Place the crushed cereal in a third shallow dish. Season the cereal with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the drumsticks with salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in the seasoned flour and coat completely. Dip in the egg mixture, then dredge in the rice cereal, pressing to coat evenly. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Fry the chicken, in batches, in the hot oil until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove to the wire rack to drain.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

RICE KRISPIES CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl add in chicken, buttermilk, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning. Let chicken marinade at least an hour or up to overnight refrigerated..
• In a large deep plate add in rice krispies and flour.
• Once chicken has marinated, shake off excess buttermilk mixture and dredge each tender into the rice krispie mixture. Be sure to firmly press the chicken in to coat completely.
• Once chicken has been coated, allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes so the rice krispie coating will adhere better to the chicken.
• In a large pan add in 1-2 inches of oil and heat over medium high heat. Gently add in chicken strips once oil is hot. Once the chicken is frying, do not touch it until it's time to flip it.
• Cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until chicken has cooked through.
• Place the chicken strips on a wire rack with paper towels underneath to catch oil drips. This helps keep the chicken crispy on all sides.

CRISPY BAKED CEREAL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
• Place the cereal in a large plastic zipper bag and crush the cereal into crumbs. Add the garlic salt and seasoned salt; shake the mixture together in the bag to combine. Pour the cereal crumb mixture out into a shallow bowl.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk mixture, then into the crumb mixture, coating the chicken well with crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
