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.

Drain on paper towels and serve.
