Equipment
- Frying pan
- Tongs
- Mixing Bowls
- Paper towels
- Thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
- seasoned chicken thigh
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper to season it, ensuring the coating on the chicken will be flavorful and well-balanced.
- Dredge each seasoned chicken thigh in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly to create a base layer that will help the eggs adhere in the next step.
- Dip the flour-coated chicken thighs into the beaten eggs, ensuring a complete and even coating to promote the adhesion of the flour mixture and create a cohesive crust when fried.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F, providing the ideal temperature for frying the chicken to a crispy golden-brown perfection while ensuring the meat cooks through evenly.
- Carefully place the egg-coated chicken thighs into the hot oil, frying them for about 6-8 minutes per side until they reach a golden-brown color and the internal temperature is safe to eat.
- Once fried, remove the chicken thighs from the oil and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, allowing the crispy coating to remain intact and the chicken to stay juicy.

Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the chicken from becoming greasy.
For extra crispy chicken, double coat the chicken by dipping it back into the egg and breadcrumbs.
Add some paprika or cayenne to the flour for a spicy kick.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying to retain its juiciness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
