Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (cut into 8 pieces)
For Marinade:
- Salt, to taste
- 1 packet Royco chicken seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
For Coating:
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 packet Royco chicken seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Ice-cold water, as needed
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by thoroughly washing the chicken pieces. In a large bowl, combine the salt, Royco chicken seasoning, chili powder (if using), and ground black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken pieces to ensure even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. For the best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, Royco chicken seasoning, and salt. Stir until well combined.
-
Coat the Chicken: Take the marinated chicken pieces and dredge them thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. After coating, dip the chicken into ice-cold water briefly, then coat again with the flour mixture. It is important not to press the chicken down while coating to avoid making the coating too dense. Simply roll the chicken around in the flour mixture for a few minutes.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Ensure that there is enough oil to submerge the chicken pieces. Fry the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes per batch. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
-
Serve: Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy!
