    Directions

    Step1

    Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season with a little salt and pepper, and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten eggs with milk. Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash, making sure it’s well-coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken for a crispier coating. Repeat with all chicken pieces.

    Step2

    Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 175°C (350°F). Fry the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 75°C (165°F). Once done, transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Step3

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and golden brown.

    Step4

    Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the broth and milk (or cream) while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add soy sauce for extra flavor. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
