Step 1

Mix flour garlic powder salt and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl.

Step 2

Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Dip the chicken pieces into the flour mixture then the egg mixture and again into the flour mixture.

Step 4

Test the oil to make sure it is hot enough: a small amount of flour dropped in should sizzle. Place 10 pieces of chicken into the hot oil; cook until golden brown about 8 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
