Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 10 pieces of chicken (thighs and legs with skin)

For the Flour Coating:

  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon chicken or meat seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Frying:

  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    • Wash and thoroughly dry the chicken pieces. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Partially Cook the Chicken:
    • In a large pot, add water to partially submerge the chicken. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes with the lid on. Remove and pat dry.
  • Prepare the Coatings:
    • In one bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, minced garlic, chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    • In a second bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat the Chicken:
    • Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture.
    • Place the coated chicken in the refrigerator for a few minutes to set the coating.
  • Heat the Oil:
    • In a deep skillet or pot, heat enough oil over medium heat to fully submerge the chicken.
  • Fry the Chicken:
    • Fry 2–3 pieces of chicken at a time, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
    • Remove and place on a plate lined with absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve the crispy fried chicken hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or coleslaw.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken by repeating the flour and egg dipping process.
  • Monitor the oil temperature to avoid burning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
