Ingredients
Scale
- 10 pieces of chicken (thighs and legs with skin)
- 2 cups of wheat flour
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chicken or meat seasoning
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Wash and dry the chicken pieces thoroughly, then season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pre-Cook Chicken: In a large pot, partially submerge the chicken pieces in water and cook over low heat for 10 minutes with the lid on.
- Prepare Coating: While the chicken cooks, prepare two large bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, minced garlic, and seasoning, stirring well. In the second bowl, mix eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and pepper with a fork.
- Coat the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the water and pat dry. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and again in the flour. Refrigerate them for a couple of minutes.
- Heat Oil: In a stockpot or high skillet, heat enough oil to submerge the chicken over medium heat.
- Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and fry 2-3 pieces at a time until golden brown on all sides. Avoid burning the chicken or oil.
- Drain: After frying, let the chicken rest on a plate with absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying to ensure juiciness.
