How to Make Crispy Chicken Tacos
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut your chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In one bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and taco seasoning. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, then into the eggs, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure the coating sticks well.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm your taco shells according to the package instructions. Fill each shell with crispy chicken, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve: Enjoy these tacos hot and crispy!
Tadaaa!! Crispy chicken tacos are sure to bring a smile to your face. They’re crunchy, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. Grab your taco shells and enjoy every bite!
