- Dry Mix:
- 1 1/2 cup of All-purpose flour

Directions

Combine the ingredients of the wet batter in a large bowl. Note: Add enough water so that the batter is the consistency of pancake batter (may use less than 1/4 cups).
-
Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly to ensure all chicken pieces are covered with batter.
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer between 350-360 degrees.
-
Combine the ingredients of the dry mix in a large bowl or baking dish.

Dredge the chicken pieces into the flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a piece of waxed paper or on a clean platter. Let them rest for a few minutes while you heat the oil.

Remove from the oil and transfer to a rack to drain.
