Instructions
- Place the lightly beaten egg into a bowl, pie plate or dredging bowl.
- In another shallow dish or dredging bowl, combine the flour, onion powder, paprika, salt and white pepper.
- Toss the chicken in flour mixture, then egg and flour again.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet or plate. Continue to repeat for all chicken.
- Allow the breaded chicken to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This allows the breading to harden and stick, preventing it from flaking off during cooking.
- Heat the oil in a large, shallow frying pan or cast iron skillet. Oil should be on medium-high heat and reach 350°F.
- Working small batches, fry the chicken. Small pieces should only take 5-6 minutes, being turned every 2 minutes. Cook until lightly browned and remove to a paper towel lined plate or wire cooling rack.
- Serve hot with choice of sauces.

Notes
- *The amount of oil you will use depends on the pan you are using, I suggest a low sided frying pan or cast iron skillet. Anything with sides too high will essentially steam your chicken, making it soggy instead of crunchy. You also don't want to crowd the pan, so a larger surface space is ideal. Lastly, your chicken doesn't need to be submerged in oil. If you have about 1/2 inch, you'll be good.
