- 1 pound chicken, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- neutral-flavored oil, to taste

Step 3 -Add in the chicken pieces and stir to fully coat the chicken pieces.
Step 4 -Coat the chicken in cornstarch, making sure the cornstarch is evenly distributed.

Step 7 -Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 8 -Once the oil reaches about 350-375 degrees F, carefully place the dredged chicken pieces into the oil in batches. Do not add too many pieces at once as this will overcrowd the pan.

Step 11 -Serve.
