Crispy gold coin chicken shaped like lucky coins is a festive appetizer. A high protein chicken recipe symbolizing wealth for family celebrations.
Cut the chicken breast into thin, round coin-shaped medallions about ½-inch thick for even cooking.
In a bowl, toss chicken medallions with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper; marinate for 20 minutes for deep flavor.
Remove crusts from sandwich bread and use a round cookie cutter or glass to make coin-sized discs; set aside.
Dredge each chicken medallion in cornstarch, then dip into beaten egg, ensuring a complete coating to lock in juices during frying.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high (350°F); shallow-fry bread discs until golden (about 1 minute per side), drain, then fry chicken coins until crisp and cooked through (3-4 minutes per side). Assemble each piece of chicken on a bread coin and serve hot.
