Directions
- 1
Slice the chicken breast into even-sized fillets about 1 cm thick. Season with salt and minced garlic and let rest for 10 minutes.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, and milk until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. Season with salt and stir in the oregano.
- 3
Dip each chicken fillet into the batter, coating it completely on both sides.
- 4
Fry the fillets in hot oil (350°F/175°C) for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- 5
Serve hot with a crisp green salad and a wedge of lemon on the side.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra crunch, swap half the milk for cold sparkling water — the carbonation makes the batter lighter and crispier when fried.
