01
Step 1
Start by mixing the chicken with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and a splash of vinegar in a big bowl. Give it a good stir so all the pieces are nicely coated, then let it sit for at least 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.

Step 2
While the chicken marinates, 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.

Set up a little station with a plate of plain flour and your batter ready to go.
