Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Dip the chicken pieces into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken fritti from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
