Ingredients
oil for deep frying
240g unbleached all-purpose flour

0.5 teaspoon paprika
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
240ml milk
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1.25cm strips
60ml hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the deep-fryer or large saucepan and heat the oil to 190°C.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then coat in the flour mixture. Repeat for a double coat. Refrigerate the breaded chicken for 20 minutes.

Fry the chicken in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 74°C.
