Mix the Breading Ingredients

Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and dip each piece into the egg mixture, followed by dredging in the flour mixture. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
