In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder and mix well. Cover the bowl and marinade for an hour.⏱ 60 min
In a separate bowl, beat one egg with 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup flour and make a thin wet mixture.
In a separate bowl, take flour and add ginger powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, salt, mustard powder and black pepper powder and give a toss to combine.
Pour the oil into a deep frying pan and heat up. When you see tiny bubbles are forming, it's ready. You can also use a thermometer to ensure right temperature which is 350°F (175°C).
Dip chicken pieces into wet mixture for few seconds and then coat them in flour mixture. If required, press and coat to ensure a proper coating is done for crispiest chicken fry.
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the outside is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack set over kitchen towel or a baking sheet to drain any excess oil.⏱ 15 min
