This recipe is really the basic of the basic. Back in Slovenia this would be something you might have on a lazy Sunday for lunch or a quick and easy dinner! This is a favorite for my husband and I just because of how easy and quick it is to make. Here's what you will need..
Ingredients:
8 pieces of chicken (thigh, breast, etc)
salt
fresh or dried thyme (chopped)
Breading:
Flour
2 eggs
1 tablespoon oil
breadcrumbs
fat or oil for frying
Method:
Prepare the chicken by rinsing it under water. Dry it and cut if needed. Lightly salt.
Next you will need to set up the breading. Whisk your eggs thoroughly and add a spoonful of oil so the breading sticks better. Add the thyme to the egg mixture and stir.
Take your chicken pieces and roll them first into your egg mixture, let the excess drain off.
Now dust the chicken with the flour.
Re-dip chicken into the egg mixture and once the excess has dripped off, roll it into the breadcrumbs.
Repeat this with the rest of the chicken.
Once all the pieces have been breaded you can cook it in one of two ways. Either in fat or in the oven. I prefer to cook the chicken in the oven personally but it's up to you. If you are frying, heat up your oil in a pan and cook it for 8-15 minutes on each side depending on the cut. Once its cooked, place it on a paper towel to remove excess oil. If you are baking, place the chicken in a lightly greased pan at 350 degrees until the breading is lightly browned and juice from the chicken comes out clear.
And your done! You can add any side you like and serve!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe, see you next time!
