Ingredients:
Directions:
1
In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together
2
Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely
3
Set aside
4
In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper
5
One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat
6
Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture)
7
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
8
Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces
9
Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried)
10
Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the "dough" into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately
11
Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear

Drain on paper towels and serve
