Simply Delish Deep Fried Chicken Fillet with Home Made Tomato Sauce

Hi bloggies in the entire blogosphere who stumbled on my page. Welcome!

Well, even though i have not been posting any recipe on this blog, i do actually cook and bake almost every-gewd-d*mn-day. I’m just too lazy to take picts, edit them, write and post it. Particularly in the photo production department, i mostly forgot to take the final product picture. Dunno why. Always in that d*mn part!

Anywayssss,
Today i just feel like updating this blog. Not really planning what to cook beforehand tho. I just went to check what’s available in my fridge. There are chicken fillet and some big juicy tomatoes. It didn’t take too long before finally i decided to cook Deep Fried Chicken Fillet with House Made Tomato Sauce. Simply delish!

So, without further a do. Here’s the recipe:

D E E P  F R I E D  C H I C K E N  F I L L E T

INGREDIENTS

• 1 kg of Chicken Fillet
• 2 cloves of Garlic
• 2 large Eggs

DRY INGREDIENTS

• 5 tablespoons of All Purpose Flour
• 5 tablespoons of Maize / Corn Starch
• 1/2 teaspoon of Dried Rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon of Dried Oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of Paprika Powder
• 1 teaspoon of White Pepper
• 1/3 teaspoon of Salt

*Actually i didn’t do the exact measurements. Simply just eyeball everything and basically you can adjust it based on your liking.

 

DIRECTIONS

• Finely grate the garlic and rub it onto the chicken fillet. Let it sit for several minutes.
• Slice or cut the chicken to your preferred size, thickness and shape. For me personally, i like to slice it diagonally.
• In a Plate #1, blend together all purpose flour, a lil bit salt, dried rosemary and oregano.
• Crack the egg into a bowl and loosely beat it.
• In a Plate #2, blend in the corn starch, paprika powder, white pepper and a lil bit salt.
• Lightly flour the sliced chicken with the flour mixture in Plate #1.
• Dip in the lightly floured chicken into the egg.
• Pick the chicken out of the egg wash and toss it into the Plate #2. Make sure that the chicken is well coated in the flour mixture then shake off the excess with strainer.
• Fry the chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked perfectly. Didn’t take long since i thinly sliced it.

You can actually just eat it as is. But in my case, or like most Indonesian do, we don’t take this dish for granted. We eat it as a main dish along with steamed rice, vegetables and other side dishes. Just like this meal i had for lunch. Yummm!
