How to make a perfect milanesa de pollo?
There are TWO common mistakes when frying chicken milanese:
One, the meat ends up too dry and with little to no flavor.
Two, the crust fell off the chicken.
So, for the first problem: the key for a tender and moist fried chicken is the marinade. The chicken breast must be soaked in milk and garlic to give extra moisture and flavor. A pinch of salt will be necessary too.
The rest of the season goes into the breadcrumb. In this mix, I add dry oregano and black pepper. This way the flavor remains on the surface of the fried chicken.
The second problem is the most frustrating. All that yummy crust ends up falling into the oil and your chicken is all sad and naked. Been there and until just recently I just find out the big secret:
The order of the coating ingredients DO matter.
You need to cover the chicken with flour first, so this will stick to the surface. If you add the beaten egg first, it will act as a barrier that will prevent the dry ingredients (flour + breadcrumbs) to stick to the chicken. Finally, coat with breadcrumbs.
So, remember: flour+eggs+breadcrumbs. In that order. It will give you the most amazing crust EVER!
I hope you enjoy this South American recipe and I see you in the next one!
