Ingredients:
CRISPY STRIPS
- 500 g skinless chicken breasts
- vegetable oil (for deep frying)
MARINADE
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon msg
COATING
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups plain flour
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon Mexican chili powder
- 1 teaspoon msg (isn't really important it just adds extra flavour)
TWISTER
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- salt, pepper
- mayonnaise
- 6 tortillas (or chapatis)
Method:
- Trim any excess skin or fat from the chicken breasts.
- Slice the chicken breasts into nice size strips (approximately 1/2 inch x 3-4 inches).
- Combine the water, salt and MSG for the marinade in a large bowl and place chicken in to set for 20 minutes.
- Turn the strips once while they are marinating.
- Combine the beaten egg and milk and a bit of pepper in a medium size bowl.
- In a small plastic bag combine the remaining ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, paprika, Mexican chille and MSG) and shake.
- At this time you can start to preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 220 deg if you are using a fryer.
- Leave the chicken for marinating for 20 minutes.
- Using about ten strips at once, place the chicken in the bag with the flouer and shake the bag until the strips of chicken are coated.
- Place them on a plate.
- Once they have been coated with the flour mixture dip them in the egg and milk mixture individualy and them back into the bag for another shake.
- Be sure to try and get as much coating on each strip.
- If you wish you can coat them again if you want a thicker coating.
- Drop the strips, 5-6 at a time into the hot oil.
- They should only take a couple of minutes depending on how you like your chicken.
- Be sure to stir when frying so the strips don't stick together.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels/tissues for a couple of minutes.
- Heat the tortilla bread/chapati in a frying pan on each side until it is nice and warm but not crispy, then remove from the pan.
- Place about 3-4 (depending on size) krispy strips on the tortilla bread/chapati.
- Then add the tomato and mayonnaise.
- Put plenty of pepper and salt on the mayonnaise.
- Then add the lettuce.
- Roll up and serve.
