Instructions
1
Preheat fryer to 350°F. Thoroughly mix together all the spice mix ingredients.
2
Combine spice mix with flour, brown sugar and salt.
3
Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture. Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.
4
Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.
5
Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
6
Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.
