Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 1 hr


• in a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. set aside.
• in a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. one at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).
• heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
• place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the "dough" into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
• fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. drain on paper towels and serve.
