- 12-18 pieces chicken
- cooking oil for fryer
Egg Wash:
- 3 extra large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
Coating Mix:
- 8 tsp. salt
- 4 tsp. MSG
- 2 tsp. ground black pepper reduce if less spicy is desired
- 2 tsp. ground white pepper reduce if less spicy is desired
- 2 tsp. ground sage
- 1 tsp. ground ginger

- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp. ground bay leaf
- 4 cups flour sifted
Instructions
-
Combine all ingredients for coating mix in a large freezer bag; close bag tight with a little air in it, shake it so that all the ingredients are well-mixed; allow to sit for 24 hours or more for flavors to permeate all of the flour.
-
Bring the oil in deep fryer up to 375 F. Empty the coating mix into a shallow pan or bowl.
-
Whisk milk and eggs together in another bowl to make the wash.
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the wash until covered; then dip each piece into the coating mix until well coated. Repeat this process with egg wash and coating, pressing coating mix firmly into the chicken. Repeat this process a third time if desired, making sure the chicken pieces are well coated.
-
Allow chicken coating to firm up on the chicken pieces for 15 minutes; brush off any excess coating before frying.
-
Fry chicken until each piece is cooked through; time depends on the size of the pieces and will vary from 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.
