Juicy chicken tenders coated in crunchy cornflakes for an ultra crispy texture, marinated in a flavorful yogurt mixture and fried to golden perfection.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 3-4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts (cut into strips)
  • 150 ml plain yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 150 g cornflakes (crushed)
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Sunflower oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into even strips.
  2. In a bowl, mix yogurt, egg, flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add chicken strips and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Crush cornflakes into coarse crumbs and place in a separate bowl.
  5. Coat each chicken strip in cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Heat sunflower oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  7. Fry chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  8. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  9. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Press cornflakes firmly onto chicken for better coating.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
  • Marinating longer enhances flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure oil is at proper frying temperature.
  • Bake as an alternative for a lighter version.
