-
Coat the Chicken:
- Crack an egg into the buttermilk mixture, beat well, and add baking powder.
- Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the buttermilk and egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
-
Chill and Marinate:
- Refrigerate the chicken for at least 12 hours. The longer you marinate, the more flavorful and juicy the chicken will be.
-
Prepare the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
- Add salt, chicken stock powder, white pepper, ground coriander, and chili powder (each 1 teaspoon), and blend until well combined.
-
Coat the Chicken Again:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and dredge each piece thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated without pressing too firmly, to maintain a light texture.
-
Double Coating for Extra Crispiness:
- Return the chicken to the buttermilk briefly, then coat again with the seasoned flour mixture. Make sure the flour adheres well to the chicken.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan until hot.
- Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, ensuring each piece is fully submerged.
- Fry over low heat for 12-14 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Once golden and crispy, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot, garnished with your favorite sides or sauces.
