Pour all the ingredients out on a large baking tray and mix together. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour one by one.

Step 3: EGG WASH

4 Large Eggs

Next, whisk the eggs together in a large bowl. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg wash and place back on the baking tray to coat in the flour again. After coating the chicken in the flour for a second time, place on a plate to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4: FRY

Fill a deep fryer or skillet with vegetable oil and heat until the oil reaches 175 degrees C / 347 degrees F. Slowly add the chicken to the hot oil and fry for 6 - 8 minutes (3 - 4 pieces at a time) Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on paper towels or a wire wrack to cool. Note: cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken pieces.
