Notes
- If you want to have your chicken to have a thick coating, use more egg and cornflour.
- Alternatively, you can shallow fry the chicken with less crispy but slightly healthier results.
- Feel free to add more of the seasoning if you prefer, but remember it’s quite salty!
- If you don't want to make your own salt and pepper seasoning, you can buy it online.
