Notes

PRO TIPS:
  1. Cut Uniformly: When cutting the chicken breast into bite-size pieces, aim for uniformity in size. This ensures even cooking and consistent texture throughout.
  2. Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasoning! Make sure to season the chicken pieces well with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder for maximum flavor.
  3. Double Coating: For extra crispiness, dip the seasoned chicken pieces in flour, then in beaten eggs, and back into the flour before frying. This double coating creates a crunchy exterior that locks in the juiciness of the chicken.
