Planet Hollywood Cap Crunch Chicken is a crispy, flavorful dish that's quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion! Featuring crunchy cereal coating.
Equipment
- 1 Food processor
- 1 Shallow pan
- 1 Deep fryer
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal - crushed but with some chunks
- 6 large eggs - beaten
- 2 cups corn flakes - for additional crunch
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - for dredging
- 25 to 30 chicken tenders - trimmed and cleaned
- 3 tablespoons granulated onion - for seasoning
- Vegetable oil - for deep frying
- 3 tablespoons granulated garlic - adds flavor
- 1 tablespoon pepper - for seasoning
Instructions
- In a food processor, grind the Cap'n Crunch and corn flakes until crumbly but some 1/8-inch chunks are still visible. Spread the mixture in a shallow pan.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, granulated onion, granulated garlic, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings.
- In another bowl, combine the beaten eggs and milk, mixing well.
- Dredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated. Dip the coated chicken tenders in the egg mixture, then dredge them in the cereal mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders on wax paper while you preheat the oil.
- Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C).
- Deep fry the chicken tenders in batches for about 3 1/2 minutes or until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, try baking instead of frying! Simply spray the coated chicken with cooking spray and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
You can use any type of cereal for coating, but the sweet and crunchy Cap'n Crunch pairs wonderfully with the savory flavors.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture!
