Chicken:
- Preheat deep-fryer at 150C.
- Combine spices with flour. Set aside.
- Make batter: Beat together eggs and milk.
- Coat chicken with the flour spice mix, dip into the batter and coat again with the flour spice mix. Make sure there are no wet spots.
- Shake off excess and let the breaded chicken rest for five minutes. This is to allow the breading to dry up and form a crust.
