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.

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.

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.
