Chicken Fried Chicken Recipe

Our chicken fried steak is an all-time reader favorite, so why not take that chicken fried technique back to its namesake? In this chicken fried chicken recipe, we do just that. Made with boneless chicken pieces, this rendition of a southern classic differs from traditional fried chicken which uses bone-in chicken pieces. It also fries faster, since it is thinner than bone-in, skin-on fried chicken. Once youve flattened the chicken, cover each piece in a mixture of flour, saltine crackers, and a hint of freshly ground pepper. Fry for a few short minutes on each side to create a crispy coating with tender meat inside. Quicker than your average fried chicken recipe, this chicken fried chicken is manageable for weeknight meals. Pair with buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, or green beans for a hearty dinner. Save leftovers to serve as chicken strips over a salad with creamy blue cheese or ranch dressing.
