This is hands down the best juicy fried chicken ever! I never would have thought to use this ingredient for chicken batter. The chicken fries up so wonderfully.
It’s juicy and moist with a crispy crunchy coating on the outside.
Chicken soup and cornstarch is the secret ingredient to this delicious mouth watering juicy fried chicken.
Instead of frying you can bake it in the oven at 375 for 1-1/2 hours. It turns out GREAT!!! The skin is nice & crispy & the meat is moist.

Cream of Chicken Soup Fried Chicken Recipe
The Best Juicy Fried Chicken ever! Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside!
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 10 3/4 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 10 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons
- 10 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional
- In a shallow dish or bowl combine the egg with the soup and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt; mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the chicken pieces and using your clean hands toss to coat completely; set aside or you may refrigerate until ready to finish making the recipe.
- In a medium bowl mix together the flour with the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place the soup-coated chicken into the flour mixture and toss to coat completely.
- Add more flour and/or cornstarch if necessary adding them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture, if you add in 2 tablespoons flour you must add in 2 tablespoons cornstarch with the flour).
- Place the coated chicken on a rack and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (THIS IS A CRUCIAL STEP to ensure crispiness when fried).
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (be certain to use enough oil to cover the chicken pieces).
- Once the chicken is doughy test oil by dropping in a piece of the "dough" into it. The oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
- Fry the chicken pieces in oil for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
- Drain on a rack.
Enjoy!
