Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken:
    • 10 pieces of chicken (thighs and legs with skin)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Coating:
    • 2 cups of wheat flour
    • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 1 tablespoon chicken or meat seasoning
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • For the Batter:
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 cup evaporated milk
    • 1 tablespoon mustard
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For Frying:
    • Oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Simmer the Chicken

In a large pot, partially submerge the chicken in water, cover, and simmer on low for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Coating and Batter

While the chicken is cooking, mix the wheat flour, cornstarch, minced garlic, and chicken seasoning in one bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, mustard, and add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the water and dry thoroughly. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it again in the flour mixture. Chill in the fridge briefly.

Step 5: Heat the Oil

Heat oil in a stockpot or deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Step 6: Fry the Chicken

Once the oil is hot, fry 2-3 chicken pieces at a time until golden and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7: Drain Excess Oil

Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with absorbent paper to soak up the excess oil before serving.
