Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Use immediately to coat bite-sized pieces of chicken. For best results, dip chicken pieces in buttermilk or beaten egg before dredging in the coating mixture.
- Shake off excess coating and fry in hot oil (350°F/175°C) for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips
- Store any unused coating in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
- For extra crunch, double coat by dipping in egg and coating twice.
- Adjust cayenne to taste for spicier or milder chicken.
