- Preheat a deep frying pan or cast iron pan over high heat and add enough oil to come one-third up the side of the pan. Heat the oil to 180°C (if you don’t have a thermometer, test by throwing in a little of the chicken coating – if it bubbles, it’s ready).vegetable oil
- Place the chicken pieces in the hot oil and cook for 3–4 minutes on one side, then use tongs to flip and cook for 2–3 minutes on the other side, or until the coating is golden and bubbly. Be careful the oil doesn’t get too hot or the batter will burn and come away from the chicken. Keep an eye on it and turn it down if it’s colouring too much. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towel.
