Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather the ingredients. For this dish you can use fillet cut into pieces or whole thighs — they're neat, compact, and great for frying. If the chicken is store-bought and you have the time, soak the meat in cold salted water for about an hour. It will turn out tender. If you're using fillet, pound the pieces with a meat mallet.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Make the batter. Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl. Add salt and ground black pepper, and whisk with a whisk or fork until smooth and fully combined.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Add the milk and two tablespoons of flour to the mixture, and stir again until the flour is fully blended in with no lumps.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Grate the hard cheese, add it to the bowl of batter, and stir again.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Dip the chicken pieces into the batter one at a time, turning them several times so the meat is fully coated in the cheese-and-egg mixture. Pour vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet and heat it up.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Lay the battered chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry over medium heat. Once the batter is nicely browned on one side, flip the pieces and brown the other side. Then cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 15 more minutes. Frying time depends on the size and thickness of the pieces: thin fillet slices need up to 5 minutes, while thighs take up to 15.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Take the chicken off the heat and serve with fresh vegetables and any side dish you like. Enjoy!
