Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken cut into serving pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons Cayenne pepper powder
- 2 pieces eggs
- ½ cup water
- 3 cups cooking oil
Brine ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 3 prigs rosemary
- 1 ½ cups ice cube
Instructions
- Make the brine by boiling 2 cups water. Add salt. Stir until diluted. Add rosemary. Boil for 1 minute. Turn the heat off. Add ice cubes.
- Arrange chicken in a large bowl. Pour-in brine solution. Cover the bowl. Refrigerate for 8 hours.
- Drain the brine solution and rinse the chicken by washing with water. Pat dry using a paper towel. Set aside.
- Make the breading by sifting the following ingredients in a large bowl: flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, ground white pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper powder. Mix well using a wire whisk. Set aside.
- Make the batter by whisking 2 pieces of eggs on a separate bowl. Add ½ cup water. Continue whisking until well blended.
- Scoop around 35% of the breading mixture to the bowl where the eggs are. Whisk until the texture becomes smooth. Set aside.
- Dredge the chicken pieces in the breading mixture. Dip in batter and dredge once again on the breading. Arrange on a clean plate. Set aside. We are now ready to fry.
- Heat 3 cups of oil in a cooking pot. Once the temperature reaches 350F, deep fry the chicken pieces for 12 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Note: it is best to fry in batches of 2 to 3 pieces at a time.
- Remove the fried chicken from the pot and place on a wire rack. Let excess oil drip.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Serve! Share and enjoy!
