Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Coating

    In a large bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
