Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you grill the chicken instead of frying it? What will the result be?
Yes, you can definitely grill the chicken in the oven or air fryer as a healthy alternative to frying. If you're using the oven, it's best to preheat it to 200°C, place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and lightly spray it with oil. The result will be delicious and quite close to frying, but the crunchiness might be a little less. In the air fryer, lightly spray with oil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

2. Is this recipe suitable for children? Should the spices be reduced?
Yes, absolutely! This recipe is perfect for children, especially if we reduce the amount of spices and hot seasonings. You can stick to just salt and a light sprinkle of black pepper to suit their taste, and also use fresh, clean oil for frying.

3. Can you prepare and freeze the chicken?
Yes, you can marinate the chicken and coat it with breadcrumbs or cornflakes, then store it in the freezer in airtight bags. When you're ready to use it, there's no need to thaw it; just fry it directly in medium heat oil. This makes it easy to prepare at any time and saves a lot of time.

4. What are the best ways to serve the chicken?
The chicken can be served in various ways:

  • As a sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato

  • Alongside fried potatoes or basmati rice

  • With sauces like cheese sauce, honey mustard, or garlic yogurt sauce

  • Or even with a light salad for a healthy, balanced meal

5. How long does marinated chicken last in the fridge?
The marinated chicken can last in the fridge for up to 1-2 days, as long as it's stored in an airtight container. After that, it's best to freeze it to avoid spoilage.

6. Can turkey breast be used instead of chicken?
Yes, turkey breast is an excellent choice, especially for those looking for a lower-fat option. However, keep in mind that turkey meat tends to be a bit drier, so the marinade should be rich in liquids (like yogurt and lemon) to keep it moist.

7. How do we know if the chicken is fully cooked inside?
If you're using a pan, check a piece of chicken in the center, and it should be completely white inside, not pink. Or, you can use a meat thermometer – the safe internal temperature for chicken is 75°C.

8. How do we keep the crunchiness even after serving?

  • Use cornstarch with flour for coating

  • Coat the chicken with cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs

  • After frying, place it on a wire rack instead of paper towels so it stays crispy and doesn't become soggy from steam

9. Can gluten-free substitutes be used?
Yes, you can use rice flour instead of regular flour, and gluten-free cornflakes or gluten-free breadcrumbs. The result will still be delicious and crunchy.

10. How can we achieve the same taste without frying?
Use an air fryer or oven, and increase the coating layer with cornflakes or coarse breadcrumbs. Lightly spray with oil before cooking. In the air fryer, cook at 180°C for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
