Step 4
Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. It's better to use smaller pieces so they cook quickly: wings, sliced breast fillet, or meat cut from thighs. Place the chicken pieces into the batter, making sure they are fully coated on all sides.

Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the chicken in batter into it. If the oil is not hot enough, the batter will absorb it and peel off — keep this in mind! Fry for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
