Yes, you can fry frozen chicken breast. In fact, it is often recommended that chicken be fried in a frozen state, as this helps to ensure even cooking.

By doing this, the chicken will cook evenly and not be rubbery.

What you need to fry frozen chicken breast

If you’re looking to fry up some frozen chicken breasts, there are a few things you’ll need to make sure the process goes smoothly. For one, frozen chicken breasts will take 50% more cooking time than regular chicken breasts, so be sure to keep that in mind when planning your meal. You need to get the following items ready before you start cooking:

  1. A large pot or deep fryer with a thermometer attached to it. If you’re using a regular pot, make sure the chicken will fit in there without touching the sides of the pot.
  2. Oil for frying, like vegetable or canola oil. You’ll want enough to cover the chicken breasts with 2 inches of oil in your pot or deep fryer. If you’re using a pot, make sure it’s not too big for the chicken to fit in there.
  3. A slotted spoon or spatula for flipping the chicken breasts while they cook.
  4. A timer to make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and evenly.
  5. Paper towels for draining excess oil from the chicken after it’s fried.
  6. Salt, pepper, and other seasonings.

How to prepare the frozen chicken breast for frying

If your chicken breasts are still frozen, it’s important to defrost them before frying. You can do this by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or submerging them in a bowl of cold water for 30-60 minutes.

Step 1:

Defrost your chicken breasts in the refrigerator. Be sure to not defrost them on the counter, as it will take too long and you’ll end up with a big mess on your hands.

Step 2:

After the chicken breasts have thawed completely, pat them down with paper towels to remove any excess moisture that has accumulated on the surface of the meat. Once they’re defrosted completely, you’ll want to brush them with some oil before cooking. This will help keep them from sticking to the pot or deep fryer and ensure that they get crispy on the outside.

Step 3:

In a small bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, and paprika). Mix them thoroughly until they are well combined.

Step 4:

In a separate bowl, crack open an egg and whisk it together with 1/2 cup of milk. Add in the salt and pepper to taste (I like to add a bit more pepper than salt). Whisk the mixture until it is well combined.

Step 5:

Dip each chicken breast into the egg and milk mixture, then dredge them in the flour mixture.

Having done that, we’ll move to the next stage which is about how to fry it.

Chicken Brest Recipe: How to fry frozen chicken breast

If you’re looking for an easy way to cook chicken breast, frying it is a great option. And if your chicken is frozen, that just makes things even easier! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to fry frozen chicken breast:

Step 1.

Start by heating your 1/2 inch of vegetable oil, in a large pot or deep fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Carefully place each chicken breast into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 2:

Once the oil is heated, add the frozen chicken breasts and cook for 10-12 minutes until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, or the temperature of the oil will drop and your chicken won’t cook properly. Fry each piece of chicken for about 4 minutes on each side (or until they are golden brown).

Step 3:

Remove the chicken from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Let it cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce or sides. Season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!

Frying chicken breasts at a high temperature are recommended, so we suggest frying them uncovered. This will also help ensure that they cook evenly and become nice and crispy. After frying, be sure to let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before chopping it into pieces. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and prevent it from drying out.
