Then, pour cornflakes onto a plate and dip the egg-covered chicken in the cornflakes, making sure the chicken breast is fully covered.
Finally, fry the covered chicken breast in hot oil until it is golden brown.
You can either eat as is and accompany with chips, or create an at home Zinger burger.
TikTokker The AvoKiddo added a burger bun, cheese, lettuce and mayonnaise to her chicken to create her burger.
Using cornflakes gives the fried chicken the perfect crunch, and will satisfy any KFC cravings.
You can also make KFC style gravy at home as an accompaniment, here is how.
Ingredients
- Chicken AND beef stock cubes (aka bouillon cubes) – for flavour and colour
- Hot water – to dissolve the cubes

- Onion or garlic powder – optional, for a hint of extra flavour
