(from largomason’s recipe box)

Allowing the chicken to rest after dredging it will give the chicken pieces a crispy crust.

Ingredients

  • 10-15 pieces of chicken
  • Canola oil for deep-frying
  • Wet Batter:
  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup of corn starch
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic seasoning
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup water (or less)
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Dry Mix:
  • 1 1/2 cup of All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • Kosher Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. 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).

  2. Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly to ensure all chicken pieces are covered with batter.

  3. Heat oil in a deep fryer between 350-360 degrees.

  4. Combine the ingredients of the dry mix in a large bowl or baking dish.

  5. 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.

  6. Place the chicken wings into the deep fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes.

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