How to Make Cajun Fried Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk.
- Cut 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
- Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F).
