Step 1:
How to make chicken like in kfc? Prepare all the necessary products. For crispy breading, we will need cornflakes, and they should not be sweet - these are sold in health food departments. Chicken parts can be any: breast fillet, shin, and most of the wing, and just small pieces of chicken - everything is suitable.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the chicken pieces.
Step 3:
In a separate bowl, marinate the chicken. Add your favorite spices and seasonings to it and leave for 30 minutes. I pickled it with paprika, garlic powder and salt.
Step 4:
Chop the cornflakes, but not into flour, but leaving larger pieces. It is best to use a pusher or rolling pin.
Step 5:
Add the breadcrumbs mixture to the flakes.
Step 6:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with a fork.
Step 7:
Breaded each piece of chicken first in flour.
Step 8:
Then dip well into the egg.
Step 9:
And pan in the breadcrumb mixture with flakes.
Step 10:
Heat the oil well in a frying pan, put the paned chicken pieces and fry on low heat for 10 minutes on each side. The chicken must be fried inside.
Step 11:
Put the finished chicken pieces on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 12:
Our crispy chicken is ready. Bon appetit!

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.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
