Flatten the chicken breast fillets by running your finger through them to create a nice flat fillet for even cooking.

2

Dip the flattened chicken into a mixture of eggs and milk to ensure the flour adheres.

3

Shake off excess egg and milk mixture before coating.

4

Press seasoned flour firmly onto both sides of the chicken fillets, using muscle to ensure it adheres well.

5

Use a pressure fryer for frying the chicken.

6

Place the rough side of the chicken down into the fryer to prevent curling and oil pockets.

Dip the chicken again before placing it in the oil to prevent sticking to the fryer basket.
