Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups soy oil
1 whole (3-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
4 large egg whites, whisked
1/2 cup matzoh meal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon finely ground white pepper
1 teaspoon Fried Chicken Seasoning
Chicken Gravy, for serving
Mexican honey, for serving

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Place egg whites in a large shallow dish. In another shallow bowl, combine matzoh meal, flour, and baking powder. Dip each chicken piece into the egg white mixture to coat; let excess drip back into dish. Then, coat each piece of chicken with matzoh mixture to coat; tap off excess.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry chicken until dark golden, about 10 minutes for breast meat and 13 minutes for leg and thigh meat. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
