- 1
In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the condensed soup, egg, and seasoning salt (use caution, as the soup is already salted) and mix well.
- 2
Dip the chicken in the mixture and turn to coat completely, then set aside.
- 3
In a resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 4
Place the chicken pieces in the bag one at a time, seal, and shake to coat.
- 5
Add more flour and cornstarch as needed, making sure to add them in equal parts.
- 6
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), using enough oil to fully cover the chicken pieces.
- 7
Place the coated chicken on a platter and let it sit until the outside becomes doughy (this is essential for crispiness when fried).
- 8
When the coating is doughy, test the oil by dropping in a small piece of coating; the oil is ready if it begins frying immediately.
- 9
Working in batches, fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until cooked through and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
