Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3 cups flour
• 2 cups oil, or as needed
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

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.

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.
