Step 1
In a big bowl, mix the chicken with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and vinegar. Give it a good stir so all the pieces get coated, then let it sit for at least 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Step 2
While the chicken is marinating, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, egg, and water in another bowl until you get a thick, smooth batter. Add a little more water if it feels too thick.
Step 3
Set up your coating station with a plate of plain flour on one side and the batter on the other.
Step 4
Take each piece of chicken, coat it in the dry flour first, shaking off any extra, then dip it into the batter so it’s fully covered.
Step 5
Heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken pieces until they’re golden and crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
Step 6
Let the patties drain on some paper towels for a minute, then serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
