WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
These crispy fried chicken fries are dipped into a roasted garlic aioli that tastes like something you would get at a legit burger spot.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FRIES
– Chicken breast
– Garlic powder
– Onion powder
– Dried red chili flakes
– Salt
– Black pepper
– All-purpose flour
– Eggs
– Breadcrumbs
– Vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the halved garlic bulb on foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap and place on a rimmed pan. Roast 30-35 minutes.
STEP 1: ROAST THE GARLIC
STEP 2: MAKE THE GARLIC AIOLI
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste. Add remaining aioli ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
STEP 3: SLICE AND SEASON THE CHICKEN
Slice the chicken into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide so they resemble fries. Season with salt and pepper.
STEP 4: SET UP THE BREADING STATION
In one bowl, whisk eggs until well beaten. In another bowl, combine flour and seasonings.
In another bowl, add breadcrumbs.
STEP 5: BREAD THE CHICKEN FRIES
Coat each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg, letting extra drip off. Press into breadcrumbs to coat well.
STEP 6: FRY UNTIL CRISPY
Heat oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F. Fry chicken strips in batches, 2 to 4 minutes per side, turning as needed, until golden brown and cooked through.
STEP 7: SERVE
Serve chicken fries hot with roasted garlic aioli on the side for dipping, or with any other dipping sauce you want.
