This really is my idea of comfort food! To be honest, it’s soo easy to make, and the only mess and hassle comes from the frying, but totally worth it.

Ingredients:

• 1 Bone-In Chicken cut into 8 pieces or 3 Chicken Breasts cut into tenders
• 1 cup Shanineh
• 2 cups all-purpose flour for coating
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you want it spicy (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

• Cut chicken breasts into tenders, wash and soak In room temperature water and Sea salt for 30 minutes. Drain chicken and season with a little bit of salt.
• Mix spices with the flour and coat the chicken with it. Set aside.
• Mix remaining flour with the Shanineh and soak the chicken in it in a bag until the texture becomes like paste.
• Heat oil and fry immediately
• Drain on a wire rack not paper towel so it remains crispy
• Serve with Garlic sauce or your preferred dip.
• Tenders take around 7 – 8 minutes to deep fry.
• Bone-In chicken takes around 15 – 17 minutes to deep fry.
• If you feel that your bone in chicken is perfect on the outside and yet uncooked on the inside, place on a wire rack and bake at max in you oven for 3 – 4 minutes, you will not lose the outside crunch and it will be PERFECTLY cooked without drying it on the inside.
