Instructions

Step 1: Blend the spice mixture In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the spice: cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, paprika and black pepper until well incorporated. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the batter (or flour mixture) Combine the remaining spice mixture, 2 teaspoons of salt, baking powder, flour and cornstarch in a large bowl. Mix the flour mixture with 3 tablespoons of the marinade.

Step 4: Prepare the oven and the oil Preheat the oven at 350-degrees F, change the rack’s position to the middle.

Step 5: Fry the chicken Prepare a fine-mesh strainer, tip in the coated chicken and shake so that all the extra flour will fall off. Carefully arrange the pieces of chicken in the oil with skin side down and fry. Remember not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6: Bake the chicken. Transfer the fried chicken into the oven’s wire rack and bake for 5 – 10 minutes. Or you can check the doneness by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and check if it reads 150-degrees F.
