Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Bread the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each piece first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and back into the flour for a double coating.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish.
