2. Marinate for 2 hours.

Flour Mixture

1. Mix all the ingredients for the flour mixture from the ingredients’ list and set aside.

Egg Mixture

1. Whisk egg and milk together and set aside.

Coat and Fry

1. Take a chicken piece and dip in the egg mixture on both sides, coat in the flour mixture, then dip it back in the chicken mixture, then coat in the flour mixture again. (See video if you’re confused.)
2. In a wok, on medium heat, add 6 cups of oil and let it heat up.
3. Add the coated chicken in the hot oil. Let it fry for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked from inside.
