DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:

Initially, combine the wet mixture ingredients with the chicken in a bowl, ensuring sure the chicken is fully coated in the marinade.

Step 2:

Put it in the fridge for at least three hours, but the longer the better, up to 24 hours it’s perfect.

Step 3:

Remove from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before using to return to room temperature.

Step 4:

Meanwhile, combine all of the dry ingredients. This is simple to do in a tiny tray, but you might also use a shallow bowl.

Step 5:

Dip a slice of chicken fully into the mixture. Make sure that the mixture is evenly distributed within the chicken since this can result in the “flaky” bits that provide additional crunch to the chicken.

Step 6:

Transfer to a tray and continue with the remaining chicken.

Step 7:

Heat enough oil to reach the depths of your biggest piece of chicken comfortably.

Step 8:

Drop a small amount of the mixture onto the surface; if it buzzes steadily, you are ready to go. The oil should be between 350 ° F and 356 ° F. When the chicken makes contact with the oil, the temperature can drop slightly; however, aim to maintain a temperature of about 320 ° F.

Step 9:

In three-part batches or 4 maximum, place chicken in oil in a sweet manner, and fry them thoroughly for 6 to 8 minutes on either side or until golden and deep white in the middle. If you are unsure about deep frying, start with a small slice.

Step 10:

When done, place each piece on a wire rack with paper towels underneath and sprinkle with salt to remove any remaining moisture. The chicken should be hot and the juices should be boiling. The internal temperature of the chicken should always be 165 degrees F.
