Method
to fry the chicken pieces you will require heavy base frying pan with cover; a large mixing bowl; tongs for handling chicken pieces and a frying thermometer as frying is the essence of this recipe. First of all in the mixing bowl, mix the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, spices, garlic, egg and 2 tablespoons of water. When it is thoroughly mixed, add all purpose flour, with the help of your hands keep mixing until most of the flour is blended evenly with other ingredients and chicken is nicely coated.
Now take oil in the frying pan fill up to a depth of about 1/2 inch and turn heat to medium. If you are using butter for frying, skim any foam as it rises to the surface. Build the temperature of the oil about 365 degrees F (185° C) that can be ascertained with a frying thermometer or by dropping a 2 inch square piece of bread in the hot oil and it should turn golden brown in about 60 seconds.
When the oil is appropriately hot raise heat to high. Slowly add chicken pieces to frying pan and cover it, reduce heat to medium and cook for 7 minutes. Uncover the frying pan, turn chicken pieces and continue to cook uncovered for another 7 minutes. Turn the chicken piece again and cook for about 5 minutes more, turning as necessary to ensure that both sides of chicken piece are golden brown.
Now remove the chicken piece from frying pan and drain the excess oil on paper towels placed on newspaper for additional absorption. Serve the chicken immediately.
