Scale

- 5 cup (1200 ml) s vegetable oil for frying
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cup (480 ml) s flour
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) s salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pepper
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) paprika
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder

Instructions

- Step 2 Seal the chicken inside a vacuum bag or a resealable freezer bag.
- Step 3 Submerge the bagged chicken in the water bath and let it cook for 2 hours.
- Finishing Steps
- Step 0 As the chicken nears completion, pour the vegetable oil into a heavy-duty pan and heat it to 350°F / 176°C.
- Step 1 Prepare two shallow dishes. In the first, lightly beat the eggs. In the second, thoroughly blend all the dry seasonings together.
- Step 2 Once the chicken is done cooking, take it out of the bags and gently dry it with paper towels. Coat each piece by first dipping it in the egg mixture and then covering it with the flour blend.
- Step 3 When the oil reaches 350°F / 176°C, gently place each chicken piece into the hot oil. Use tongs to turn them after a few minutes, once the coating becomes a golden brown, to ensure even cooking. Remove from the oil, place on paper towels, and blot away excess oil. Add a sprinkle of kosher salt before serving.
- Step 4 Enjoy the most succulent and perfectly cooked chicken you’ve ever tasted!
Notes
- Try enhancing the flavor by incorporating a dash of cayenne pepper into the dry seasoning mix.
- Ensure the chicken is thoroughly dried before coating to achieve a crispy outer layer.
- Utilize a meat thermometer to confirm the oil reaches the proper frying temperature.
