    How to fry chicken in breadcrumbs? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Peel the chicken, wash it well, dry it and cut it into portions.

I adore chicken in any of its manifestations, and especially in this! It's impossible to stop... By the way, if you try to bake it in the oven, you will get a more dietary dish.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
