Gravy:
-
3 cups milk
-
1 cup chicken broth, canned or
from powder
-
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
-
1/2 teaspoon onion
powder
-
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
-
Salt (to taste)
-
1/4 cup
cornstarch
-
1/3 cup cold tap water
Directions:
-
Bring milk and chicken broth for gravy to simmer over low-medium heat
(don't scorch). Next, add garlic, onion powder, pepper and salt.
-
In a small cup/bowl, add corn starch to cold water and mix
thoroughly until starch is dissolved. Increase heat to gravy and slowly
stir in the starch/water mixture as it bubbles and thickens.
-
Heat vegetable oil in skillet or fryer to 350 degrees F at a 2-3 inch
depth. Be careful not to exceed temperature to reduce the risk of fire.
-
Mix dry ingredients for "dusting" and "coating" in two large
bowls until evenly mixed.
-
Mix dry ingredients for batter in
large bowl until evenly mixed. Add oil; crack and add eggs, then milk
and water. Beat by hand until lumps are minimal.
-
Place the chicken breasts one-by-one into the dusting
and cover both sides with a thin layer of product.
-
Dip into
batter and remove (allow excess to drain); place in breading and "seal"
in batter with a dry, but not excessively thick, coating. Fry
immediately.
-
Be careful not to remove coating from chicken
breasts when handling and placing into the oil.
-
Fry for
approximately six to eight minutes (time varies with equipment, amount
of chicken and its thickness).
-
Internal temperature should be a
minimum of 165 degrees F.
-
Remove and drain on paper towel.
-
Serve with your favorite side dishes.
