Fried chicken

Step 1/5

• ⅔ tbsp garlic powder
• ⅔ tbsp onion powder
• ⅔ tbsp salt
• ⅓ tbsp pepper
• ⅔ tbsp paprika

• oven
• small bowl

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2/5

• 2⅔ chicken legs

• cutting board
• knife

Carefully cut chicken legs in half at the joint. Rub them generously with spice rub, setting any excess spice rub aside.

Step 3/5

• 1⅓ eggs
• 20 ml water
• ⅔ tbsp Tabasco
• 66⅔ g flour
• ⅓ tbsp baking powder
• salt

• 2 large bowls
• whisk

In a large bowl, whisk together egg, water, and Tabasco. In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and the excess spice rub.

Step 4/5

• tongs

Dip chicken pieces in the egg mixture until well coated on all sides. Lightly shake to remove excess liquid. Then dredge chicken in flour mixture until a thick and even crust is formed. Repeat these steps for a thicker crust if desired.

Step 5/5

• vegetable oil for deep frying

• frying pan
• baking sheet
• parchment paper

Preheat frying oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep frying pan. The right temperature is reached when small bubbles form when a wooden spoon is held into the oil. Fry chicken pieces in batches until brown and crispy for approx. 3 - 5 min. Transfer to a lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for approx. 10 - 15 min. Remove from oven and enjoy with lemon wedges and dipping sauces of your choice!

Enjoy your meal!
