  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

  • Cut the whole chicken into pieces (breasts, thighs, wings, and drumsticks).
  • Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Prepare the Coating:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground white pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried basil, celery salt, ground ginger, and mustard powder.
  • Mix well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.

3. Prepare the Egg Wash:

  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.

4. Coat the Chicken:

  • Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
  • Then, dredge the chicken piece in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to cover it completely.
  • Shake off any excess flour and place the coated chicken on a plate or tray.

5. Fry the Chicken:

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding.
  • Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

6. Drain and Serve:

  • Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
