Instructions

Step 1

Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients listed under chicken seasoning.

Step 2

Bake the chicken for 30 minutes at 375°F.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to cool to touch.

Step 4

While it's cooling, prepare the breading mix by mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in a separate bowl.

Step 5

Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, followed by the flour mixture. Be sure to fully coat the chicken pieces.

Step 6

While coating the chicken, have a large frying pan filled with oil about one inch deep. Heat the oil until it bubbles when a wooden stick is placed into it. When bubbles appear quickly, the oil is ready to fry the chicken.

Step 7

Begin frying the chicken pieces in batches until the breading gets a nice golden color. The chicken is already pre-cooked so the only concern at this stage is the color of the breading.

Step 8

Enjoy with the spicy mayo dip!
