Crispy Chicken Supreme
Crispy Chicken Supreme features tender chicken coated in crunchy Rice Krispies with a savory blend of paprika and poultry seasoning, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place crushed Rice Krispies cereal in a shallow dish or pan. Stir in paprika; set aside.
- In a second shallow dish, beat the egg and mix in milk.
- Add flour, salt, and poultry seasoning to the egg mixture and mix until smooth.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the batter, ensuring they are well coated.
- Coat the chicken with the crushed cereal mixture.
- Bake or fry the coated chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra crunch, consider double-coating the chicken by dipping it back into the egg mixture after the first cereal coating. You can substitute cornflakes for Rice Krispies if desired. If you're short on time, using store-bought seasoned breadcrumbs can simplify the process while still delivering flavor. Ensure the oil is hot enough if frying to achieve that perfect golden brown finish.
Serving Suggestions
Crispy Chicken Supreme is delightful served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a classic comfort meal. It also pairs beautifully with a refreshing salad or coleslaw. For a fun twist, try serving it with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or barbecue sauce. This dish is perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
