Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 500 g skinless chicken breasts
• vegetable oil (for deep frying)
• 4 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon msg
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups plain flour
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon mexican chili powder
• 1 teaspoon msg (isn't really important it just adds extra flavour)

Recipe

• 1 trim any excess skin or fat from the chicken breasts.
• 2 slice the chicken breasts into nice size strips (approximately 1/2 inch x 3-4 inches).
• 3 combine the water, salt and msg for the marinade in a large bowl and let it sit and marinate for 20 minutes.
• 4 turn the strips once while they are marinating.
• 5 combine the beaten egg and milk and a bit of pepper in a medium size bowl.
• 6 in a small plastic bag combine the remaining ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, paprika, mexican chili and msg) and shake.
• 7 at this time you can start to preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 220°c.
• 8 when the chicken has been marinating for 20 minutes, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
• 9 using about ten strips at once, place the chicken in the bag with the flouer and shake the bag until the strips of chicken are coated.
• 10 place them on a plate.
• 11 once they have been coated with the flour mixture dip them in the egg and milk mixture individually and them back into the bag for another shake.
• 12 be sure to try and get as much coating on each strip.
• 13 if you wish you can coat them again if you want a thicker coating.
• 14 drop the strips, 5-6 at a time into the hot oil.
• 15 they should only take a couple of minutes depending on how you like your chicken.
• 16 be sure to stir when frying so the strips don't stick together.
• 17 remove the chicken from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels for a couple of minutes.
• 18 enjoy your homemade takeaway!
