Ingredients
- Chicken~1 whole
- Oil~2 quarts neutral frying
- Egg White~1
- Flour~1 1/2 cups
- Brown Sugar~1 tablespoon
- Salt~1 tablespoon
- paprika~1 tablespoon
- onion salt~2 teaspoons
- chili powder~1 teaspoon
- black pepper~1 teaspoon
- celery salt~1/2 teaspoon

- garlic powder~1/2 teaspoon
- allspice~1/2 teaspoon
- oregano~1/2 teaspoon

Instructions
•
Preheat fryer to 350°F. Thoroughly mix together all the spice mix ingredients.
•
Combine spice mix with flour, brown sugar and salt.
•
Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture. Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.
•
Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.
•
Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
•
Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.
