Steps

 Step 1

Break up the chickens into pieces with the bones. (watch video )

 Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine all the above mixture ingredients.

 Step 3

In another bowl, separate the yolks away from whites keeping only the whites (use yolks for another recipe). Add a splash of milk and whisk together.

 Step 4

Bring your deep frying oil to 300°F – 150°C (you can go a little higher as chicken will cool it down, but bring it back to that temperature once cooking)

 Step 5

Dip each chicken piece in the egg white, then the flour mix, repeat process for double coating.  Carefully fry the chicken pieces no more than four at a time. You can do more if you have a larger fryer. (try and maintain that same temperature).

 Step 6
