Tips and variations
If you prefer a spicier chicken, add more cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
If you want a healthier option, you can bake the chicken in the oven instead of frying it. Simply preheat the oven to 400°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
You can also add different spices or herbs to the flour mixture for added flavor. Try adding some dried oregano or thyme.
If you want to make this recipe gluten-free, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
For an extra crispy chicken, you can double coat the chicken by dipping it in the egg mixture and flour mixture twice before frying.
