- Preheat fryer to 350°F
- Thoroughly mix together all the spice mix ingredients

Combine spice mix with flour, brown sugar and salt
-
Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture
- Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken
- Repeat with all the chicken pieces
-
Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit
-
Fry chicken in batches
- Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes
- Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F
-
Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer
- Serve hot
