Ingredients
For the coating
Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels; The coating adheres better.
Mix the dry mixture
Mix flour, salt, black pepper and garlic powder in a bowl until homogeneous.
Separate the egg and coconut
Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Transfer the coconut to a third plate/bowl.
Make the breading
Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally into the coconut to coat. Gently shake off excess.
Heat the pan
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil bubbles and calms down, it is ready for frying; Do not make it too hot so that it cooks inside without burning on the outside.
Fry
Arrange the chicken bites in the pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, approximately 10-12 minutes in total, and remove when golden brown. You can keep the thick pieces for a few more minutes.
Let rest and serve
Place the fried donuts on a paper towel and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve while hot; It goes well with yoghurt dip sauce or lemon.
