- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 packet of Sazon (or 2 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper

For the wet batter
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 6-8 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oil to 350° degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder and spices.
- In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, cold water, and hot sauce using a whisk.
- In a separate bowl, season the chicken with the spices.
- First, coat the chicken in flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in egg batter and coat again in flour, shaking off any excess.
- For best results, let your chicken rest while it is fully coated for 15 minutes before frying. This will ensure that the coating sticks well and results in a crispy and delicious fried chicken.
- For best results, deep fry your chicken in 350°F oil for 8-10 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
