Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 10-12 large boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into one inch pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
For the Chicken:
- Place the prepared chicken in a large bowl. Pour over the beaten egg and stir until the chicken is well coated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add to the chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
- In a large pot, add enough vegetable oil so that there is at least 3 inches of oil. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to optimum frying temperature which is 350°F.
- Fry the chicken in batches. Don't overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a sheet pan lined with a wire cooling rack to drain.
- When the chicken is done, set in a pre-heated 250°F oven to stay warm.
- After all of the chicken is fried, add the barbecue sauce to a large skillet and warm the sauce over medium heat until heated thoroughly.
- Add the chicken and toss well to coat in the sauce.
- Plate and garnish. Serve immediately.
