Ingredients for 2 People
- 2 lbs large chicken breast cutlets, sliced thick
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup De Nigris Silver Eagle Balsamic Vinegar
- ⅓ cup blueberry jam
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 2 cups any high smoke point oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
For the recipe
Whisk egg, De Nigris Silver Eagle Balsamic Vinegar, jam, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add chicken cutlets and turn to coat. Cover bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
In a large bowl, whisk cornstarch, spices, and flour together. Coat each cutlet in the seasoned dredge and set aside.
Pour cooking oil into a large skillet to a layer approximately 1 inch deep. Heat oil over a medium-high flame. When oil is around the 300 °F, add chicken pieces. Frying may take multiple rounds to avoid overcrowding. Use tongs to flip the chicken and cook for 8 minutes flipping about 3 times until the chicken is golden brown and floats slightly on the oil. Transfer the chicken to a large plate that is topped with a napkin or paper towel. Salt both sides to taste.
Enjoy!
