INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 3 cups flour
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 cups oil, or as needed

  • Chicken

    • 🍗 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed

STEPS

1

Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.

2

Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.

3

Heat 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.

4

Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour mixture again to coat.

5

Lower pieces of chicken carefully into hot oil in batches; fry until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
