Procedure

  1. Dip chicken pieces into eggs. Season liberally with poultry shake and dredge in cornmeal, then move to a plate and let rest 2–3 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350°F. Add chicken pieces, working in batches if needed, and fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Drain on a cooling rack set above a half-sheet pan.
