Description
As good as you would find at the best street stall, this golden fried chicken with added spice is sure to make your mouth water.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 chicken legs
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon five-spice powder, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Rinse your chicken legs under cold running water. Put them in a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and half of the five-spice powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together your 2 eggs and tablespoon of water. Add to the chicken, and toss everything together.
- In shallow baking dish, stir together the flour, baking powder, white pepper, and the other half of the five spice powder. Fill a cast iron skillet slightly less than halfway with oil, and heat to 360 degrees.
- Take each drumstick and allow the excess egg to drip off. Thoroughly coat in the flour mixture, and shake off any excess. Lay them in the oil, four at a time.
- Fry each batch of chicken for 14 minutes, maintaining a temperature of 350 degrees (the oil will cool right down when you add the chicken), and flipping them about halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. Serve!
