Ingredients:

  • 500 grams (approximately 1.1 lbs) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (or chili flakes for a bit of heat)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 bag (approximately 120-150g) ketchup-flavored Ruffles potato chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Plenty of vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation Steps:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thick strips, similar to large juliennes. This ensures the chicken cooks quickly and achieves maximum crispiness.

  2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, add the chicken strips, salt, paprika (or chili flakes), cumin, black pepper, and curry powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed and coat all the chicken pieces. This will infuse every bite with flavor.

  3. Crush the Chips: Open the bag of ketchup-flavored Ruffles chips. Gently crush the chips into small crumbs directly inside the bag using your hands or the bottom of a glass. You want a mixture of fine and slightly larger crumbs for the best texture.

  4. Prepare the Chip Coating: Crack the 2 eggs into the bag of crushed chips and add the ½ cup of milk. Close the bag and gently massage or shake it to thoroughly combine the eggs and milk with the chip crumbs, creating a wet coating.

  5. Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. This mixture will help the coating adhere better and make the chicken extra crispy.

  6. Coat the Chicken: First, dredge each seasoned chicken strip in the flour and cornstarch mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, transfer the floured chicken to the bag of the chip mixture. Toss and coat the chicken pieces thoroughly, pressing the chip crumbs onto all sides so they stick well.

  7. Fry the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for the chicken to sizzle immediately upon contact. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn the pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  8. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, remove it from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve1 the crispy chip-coated chicken hot and enjoy!
