Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

• STEP 3.Dip each marinated chicken piece into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
• STEP 4.Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
• STEP 5.Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• STEP 6.Serve the olive fried chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add some lemon zest or paprika to the breadcrumb mixture.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to ensure a crispy coating.
• If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the chicken in the oven instead of frying. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover olive fried chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the olive fried chicken as a main dish with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
