Have 2 Bowls ready. One for the cornstarch and the other one with the flour, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and eggs mixed together and set aside.

Cut the chicken breast into cubes/bite size pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.

Coat the chicken pieces in the cornstarch *Do this a few at a time so they don't stick together

Remove excess cornstarch. I find it easier to use a strainer for this.

Dredge all the chicken pieces in the egg mixture

Now lets Cook!!

Fry Em Up

Heat the oil, on medium, in a large frying pan.

Once its heated through, place the chicken pieces One by One and Spaced Out so they don't stick together

Fry one side till golden brown (3-5min) then flip and fry the other side

Serve Warm :)

*Make sure when you are frying, to wear long sleeves. Oil will fly*
