01 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and lemon juice until well combined. (Prep time: 1 minute)
03 Step
Recipe View
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour. Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, press the chicken back into the flour mixture for a second coating, ensuring it's evenly covered. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). (Cook time: 8 minutes per batch)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove the fried chicken from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Drain time: 2 minutes per batch)
07 Step
Recipe View
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For extra crispy chicken, consider using potato starch in addition to the flour.
A pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture can add a delightful kick.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking and golden-brown color.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.

Dec 13, 2024I had some trouble getting the chicken fully cooked without burning the outside. I think I need to adjust my oil temperature or cook in smaller batches next time.
