Ingredients
  

  • 1 kilogram Chicken Legs and Thighs
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Chicken Powder
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika (optional)
  • 2 pcs Eggs
  • A pinch of Salt (for the eggs)
  • Cooking Oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of cornstarch, 1 tsp chicken powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika (optional). Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • Take your 1 kilogram of chicken legs and thighs, and slice them if needed.
  • Dip each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, making sure it’s evenly coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and coat the chicken again in the flour mixture.
  • Once coated, place the chicken on a tray or plate, ready for frying.
  • Heat enough cooking oil in a pan to submerge the chicken pieces. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy.
  • Place the fried chicken on a cooling rack to drain any excess oil before serving.
