2️⃣ Prepare the Coating

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

For extra crunch, dip it back into the marinade and coat again with flour.

3️⃣ Fry the Chicken

Heat oil to 175°C (350°F).

Fry the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
