  1. 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. 2

    Dip the chicken in the mixture and turn to coat completely, then set aside.

  3. 3

    In a resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Place the chicken pieces in the bag one at a time, seal, and shake to coat.

  5. 5

    Add more flour and cornstarch as needed, making sure to add them in equal parts.

  6. 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. 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. 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. 9

    Working in batches, fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until cooked through and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.

  10. 10

    Drain on paper towels and serve.
