Ingredients
  • 3 cup Flour
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 cup Oil (or as needed)
  • 3 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts (Cubed)
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  3. Step 3

    Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour mixture again to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Lower pieces of chicken carefully into hot oil in batches; fry until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
