How to fry a chicken in a pan with a golden crust

Crispy chicken with a golden crust, tender meat, slices of fragrant potatoes with dill - can you imagine a tastier dinner? The whole charm of the dish is that it cooks quickly. Chicken is fried in 15 to 20 minutes. The main thing is not to let her become a stew, otherwise the taste will turn out completely different.

For cooking, any pieces are suitable. And the most delicious in fried form are the "pink" parts of the chicken - legs, thighs, wings. Although properly cooked fillet never comes out dry.

Be sure to bring the chicken in the oven: so it will be 100% fried, the meat will fall off the bone, they will want to be savored.

The chicken will be even tastier if you give it a little pickle in advance. To do this, cut the chicken into pieces, pour kefir with herbs and garlic, add and leave in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Necessary components:

  • chicken carcass - 1000 g;
  • flour - 200 g;
  • vegetable oil - 100 ml;

  5. Fry chicken on medium heat, first on one side, and then on the other. It takes 5 to 7 minutes on one side. The main thing is not to make the fire strong so as not to burn our meat.
  6. At the end, turn off the stove, and cover the chicken with a lid. So it comes to condition, and the meat will not remain damp inside. You can do otherwise - hold it a little in a red-hot oven.

If you dip the beaten fillet in an egg, and then in breadcrumbs and fry, you get a delicious and rosy schnitzel.

Some housewives marinate the chicken fillet in advance. Beat off the pieces, grease with mayonnaise, add a little bit of any seasonings, lemon juice or a clove of garlic. Then they put the blanks in a plastic food container and fry as they become “hungry”. Harvesting does not deteriorate from 1 to 3 days, depending on the marinade.

Supporters of healthy lifestyles do not like fried food in principle. But if you do not use meat in cooking, you will get excellent healthy food. After all, chicken is a living source of digestible protein - the main builder of muscles and an energy source. True, without a frying pan, grilling an ala-chicken steak will be problematic. But why not try?

In a grill pan, the frying process is greatly simplified, and at the same time, steaks acquire appetizing strips.

  • chicken breast fillet;
  • a mixture of peppers (pink, white, black);

  • orange juice - 100 ml.

Cooking Instructions:

  1. To start, we beat the chicken fillet thoroughly. The thickness of the steak should not exceed 0.5 cm.
  2. Mix soy sauce, orange juice and pepper.
  3. Immerse each piece in the marinade and leave to soak for 40-60 minutes.
  4. Heat the pan and grease with a half of raw potatoes. We need medium fire, otherwise the meat will burn.
  5. Put the steaks in a prepared container and brown on both sides until crust.

Serve with slices of raw vegetables and a light sauce based on yogurt, mint and fresh cucumber.

Or make spicy sauce. To do this, add finely chopped olives (2 pcs.) And any greens to Greek yogurt. Any options will bring fresh notes to the taste of this unusual breast dish.

How to deliciously fry chicken with potatoes in a pan

Lovers of hearty food who do not want to count calories are simply obliged to treat themselves to potatoes fried with pieces of chicken. Do not forget to add a little tomato to it for pungency, bell pepper for flavor, and carrot with onion for juiciness. When there are no vegetables - it does not matter. We offer a simple option, but no less appetizing.

A light “creamy” dish will give a piece of ghee added at the very end of the frying. And lovers of bold experiments, we recommend seasoning the dish with a triangle of cream cheese with a taste of ham.

Complete list of ingredients:

  • potatoes - 4 - 5 medium tubers;
  • carrots and onions - 1 sh .;
  • chicken (thighs, fillets) - 500 g;
  • vegetable oil - 50 ml;
  • salt, seasoning to taste.

How to cook:

  1. We cut the chicken into small pieces, and the onions and carrots into small cubes.
  2. Peel the potatoes and chop them randomly.
  3. Fry chicken over high heat and add vegetables to it.
  4. At the first stage, fry everything over high heat until a pleasant crust forms on the bottom.
  5. Then we reduce the fire and fry all together on low heat until the potatoes and meat are soft.

If you are afraid that the dish will not fry, add a little water (about a quarter cup) and simmer everything under the lid. Although the need for this usually does not arise: chicken and potatoes secrete juices, and everything is put out quickly.

Serve a dish with Borodino bread, vegetables and herbs. It is ideal to complement it with homemade salts: light-salted herring, mackerel combined with such a dinner very harmoniously. Do not forget to offer sour cream or any other sauce to eaters.

Chicken is affordable, easy to prepare and perfectly "adapts" to other ingredients. Fry it with vegetables, mushrooms, add cheese to it - you always get a new variation, and the meat will never get bored. Make hodgepodge with cabbage, olives and olives, stew chicken with tomatoes and bacon, fry, steam and bake ... We are sure that the chicken will still open to you from a new angle and take the crown first place in your family diet.
