1 tablespoon chicken soup mix or 1-2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs
Oil, for frying
Instructions
With a sharp knife and a kitchen mallet (or hammer) cut the chicken (through the meat and bone). The bottom can be cut into 4 pieces (or 3 if its small). The tops can be cut into 3. You want pieces that are more bite-sized for easier eating and frying.
In a bowl, combine the oil, garlic, paprika, black pepper, chicken soup mix (or salt) with the chicken. Pour in Sprite and mix. Let sit for 1 hour to overnight to marinade.
Dip into egg, pat well with breadcrumbs, and deep fry until insides are done and outside is crispy, about 8-10 minutes or more depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
