-
Prepare the Chicken:
Begin by cutting the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken with the spice blend mixture, which includes finely minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to ensure the flavors are absorbed. -
Prepare the Coating:
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and seasoning. This will create the dry coating for the chicken. -
Coat the Chicken:
Take the marinated chicken pieces and dip them into the beaten egg, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Next, roll the chicken pieces in the flour and cornstarch mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the coating adheres well. -
Fry the Chicken:
Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces. Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking until each piece is golden brown and crispy, which should take about 4-6 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. -
Serve:
Transfer the crispy fried chicken to a serving platter. Serve hot and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful delight!
