Ever wondered if you could make chicken steaks as tempting as street food at home? Today, we will teach you how to easily make delicious chicken steaks at home and let your taste buds enjoy a little adventure.
First of all, we have to prepare the chicken breast, preferably fresh. Remember to wash the chicken breasts and dry them with a kitchen paper towel. This is followed by the crucial steps of making the chicken steak – beating and marinating. Use a rolling pin or meat hammer to gently pat the chicken breast to make it softer. In terms of marinating, you can add salt, pepper, garlic powder and other seasonings according to your taste, spread well, and then set aside for 20 minutes to allow the meat to fully absorb the aroma of the seasoning.
Next, prepare three bowls and fill each with flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Coat the marinated chicken breast in a layer of flour to allow the egg to adhere better. Then, soak the floured chicken in the egg mixture and finish with an even layer of breadcrumbs. This way, the outer layer of the chicken cutlet will form a crispy crust when it is fried.
The temperature of the oil in the chicken cutlet is crucial. Heat the oil to about 180 degrees over medium heat, too high will cause the crust to stick, and too low will make the chicken steak absorb oil and become greasy. Gently place the prepared chicken steak in the pan and fry until golden brown and crispy. In order to ensure the taste of the chicken steak, remember not to put too many chicken steaks in one time and avoid lowering the oil temperature.
The fried chicken steak is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is tangy. You can also sprinkle some chili powder, ketchup or honey mustard sauce to add a different flavor, depending on your preference. The process of making chicken cutlets is also an exploration of taste and creativity, and each attempt may bring new surprises.
Finally, share your work with your family and friends. Not only can you enjoy the food, but you can also share the joy and sense of accomplishment of making. Homemade chicken steak at home is not only clean and hygienic, but can also be adjusted according to personal taste, so that every bite is full of happiness.
Look, don't you think it's actually not that difficult? Try it out and you might be the chef of your home! Remember, the most important thing in the process of making food is not only the taste, but also the feeling of enjoying the process and sharing time with your family.
