Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 eggs, or more as needed
2 tablespoons hot sauce
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into small squares

  • Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture; coat lightly in flour mixture. Dip into eggs again and coat thoroughly in flour mixture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't come out crispy at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The chicken was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best fried chicken he's ever had.

This recipe was amazing! The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the sauce was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
