Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 0 as needed Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Slice each chicken breast into strips or desired size pieces and place in a bowl.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken pieces, making sure they are evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Step 5
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until you form a smooth batter.
Step 6
Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to fully submerge the chicken pieces. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Dip each piece of spiced chicken into the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated and any excess batter drips off.
Step 8
Carefully place the battered chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your choice of dairy-free dipping sauces and sides.
