Method

  1. Dry and season the chicken

    • Pat the chicken pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels.
    • Season the chicken all over with the seasoning blend.
    Step 1

  2. Prepare the wet and dry coatings

    • Beat the eggs with the ice water in a bowl to make the wet mixture.
    • Combine the flour and baking powder in a second bowl for the dry coating.
    Step 2

  3. Heat the oil

    • Pour the neutral, high smoke point oil into a pan and heat it to 167 °C.
    Step 3

  4. Coat the chicken

    • Dip each piece of chicken into the wet mixture, shaking off the excess.
    • Press it into the dry flour mixture until fully coated.
    • Let the coated chicken rest so the flour clings to the meat.
    Step 4

  5. Fry the chicken

    • Lower the chicken into the hot oil, dropping it away from you.
    • Fry until deeply golden and crispy, then drain.
