SAN ANTONIO — Fiesta is almost here but it can be hard to wait for food at San Antonio's biggest party. KENS 5 found a couple of Fiesta inspired recipes that you can try at home.
We recreated a Fiesta staple, chicken on a stick using a few simple ingredients. The recipe is easy to follow and won't break the bank.
We also recreated a thirst quenching NIOSA Preparada. This alcoholic drink is bright, fun, and over the top.
Chicken on a stick recipe:
- Create an egg wash by mixing eggs and milk in a bowl
- Pour a cup of flour on a plate
- Pour a cup of bread crumbs on a plate (Seasoned to how you like)
- Grab chicken breast tenders (You can buy them thinly sliced or you can tenderize them)
- Drag chicken through the flour, egg wash, and the breadcrumbs (In that order)
- Fill your pan with oil and fry on medium heat until the chicken is nice and crispy
- Take the chicken out of the pan and rest for a couple of minutes
- Skewer the chicken and top with a jalapeno and carrot
- Enjoy!
Smirnoff Preparada recipe:
- Start by chopping up any fruit of your choice (we used watermelon and strawberries)
- Cover the rim of your cup with chamoy
- Fill half of your cup with ice
- Then fill the rest of the cup with your chopped up fruit
- Add a bottle of Smirnoff Ice (Pick any flavor you want, we used lime)
- *You can also make this drink non-alcoholic by using lime Topo Chico instead of Smirnoff
- Then add chamoy
- Drop your favorite candies into the drink (We used spicy gummy bears and sour belts)
- Sprinkle some tajin on top.
- Add a squeeze of lime.
- Drink and enjoy!
