Quick and tasty Southern Fried Chicken recipe

Beat egg whites in a large bowl until broken down and lightly foamy. Add soy sauce, wine, and vodka and whisk to combine. Add cornstarch and baking soda to the large bowl and whisk to combine.

Add chicken to the large bowl and turn with fingers to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until homogeneous. Add reserved marinade and whisk until the mixture has coarse, mealy clumps. Set aside.

Transfer chicken from marinade to dry coat mixture, tossing between each addition to coat chicken. When all chicken is added to the dry coat, toss with your hands, pressing the dry mixture onto the chicken.

Heat the oil in a large wok or Dutch oven. Lift chicken one piece at a time, shake off excess coating, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.

Fry until chicken is cooked through and very crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer it to a paper towel to remove fat excess.

Serve immediately. Enjoy!
