Recipe: (somewhat) Spicy Pan Fried Chicken

(somewhat) Spicy Pan Fried ChickenI made this chicken dish tonight and it was pretty good. (and really easy) It is medium spicy. Spicy enough to have a good flavor but not burn your mouth. It is a quick recipe I made up off the top of my head (like I do with most food)

Servings: 1 to 4

Total time: Very little (20 mins? )

Difficulty level: Very low

You need:

  • Texas pete hot sauce (or some other semi-mild louisiana style hot sauce. Not tabasco. Yuck)
  • Regular old bread crumbs (or crumbled cornflakes if you like that better)
  • 1 egg
  • Cooking oil (I use Enova oil. It’s supposed to be better for you)
  • McCormick Rotisserie chicken seasoning (or similar)
  • 1 package of chicken breasts (Cut thin. Or use a meat mallet to make them thin)

Directions

  1. Beat the egg. Mix in Texas Pete hot sauce. This will be used to glue the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
  2. Put some oil in a pan on medium heat.
  3. In a shallow dish (or plastic bag) mix bread crumbs with a good ammount of rotisserie chicken seasoning.
  4. Coat the chicken in egg, then in breadcrumb mix
  5. Cook in oil. When one side is golden brown flip it and cook the other side. Total cook time is very short.

Variations:

You can easily play around with this recipe and make it even better or different. If you like really spicy stuff just add some more Texas Pete to the egg, and some more spicy spices to the bread crumb mix. Also, I didnt think about marinating the chicken in Texas Pete before coating it with egg then bread crumbs. That might be nice too. But really, I liked it how it was.
