1
Start off by dicing the chicken into approximately 1 inch pieces.
-
2
When the chicken is all cut up put it aside and put the flour and all of the spices into a bowl and blend them with a fork or whisk.
-
3
Then in another bowl whisk the egg into the milk until well blended.
-
4
Dredge the chicken in the milk/egg mixture and then coat in flour mixture.
-
5
Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and place in the fridge for 20 minutes and then repeat the coating process again putting the chicken in the fridge a second time for a total of 40 minutes.
-
6
While youre waiting for the chicken to cool for a second time start heating up oil in a small sauce pot over medium heat.
-
7
You can use a deep fryer if you have one but I was being lazy and didnt feel like dragging it out of a closet so a small pot worked just fine.
-
8
When the oil is bubbling slightly, youre ready to start cooking the chicken.
-
9
You can test the oil by flicking a small amount of water into the pot, just make sure you use very little water and stand back so you dont get burned.
-
10
Place the chicken in the oil using a slotted spoon or an Asian bamboo strainer.
-
11
I recommend the bamboo strainer, it works great and theres no chance of any part of it melting.
-
12
I got mine from William Sonoma.
-
13
The chicken will need to cook about 6 minutes, actual cook time will vary on your stove.
-
14
Once the oil is bubbling leave it on medium heat to maintain temperature.
-
15
Make sure not to overfill the pot either otherwise the chicken wont cook fully or evenly.
-
16
If you want to guage how long youll have to cook the chicken you can cut one piece open to make sure its completely white inside.
-
17
If it is, then you should cook the rest of the chicken for a similar amount of time.
-
18
I placed the chicken on a paper towel as it came out of the fryer and blotted it to remove any excess oil.
-
19
Then transferred it to a bowl with the hot sauce and used a rubber spatula to coat the chicken.
