Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and 4 Tbsp. seasoning of choice. Add water and mix until mixture is the consistency of damp sand. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk egg. Drop pieces of chicken into egg and toss to coat. Transfer chicken to flour mixture and toss to coat, ensuring all edges of chicken are coated in flour mixture.
Step 3
In a Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Carefully drop a few pieces of chicken at a time into oil and fry for 3 to 4 min. until pieces are golden brown and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Continue frying in batches, adjusting heat to ensure oil stays between 350 and 370 degrees.
Step 4
Immediately after removing chicken from fryer, sprinkle with remaining seasoning of choice. Serve hot.
