   • Combine the spice mix with the flour, brown sugar and the added salt.
2. 2

   Breading

   • Lightly coat chicken pieces with egg white so the surface is damp.
   • Transfer the chicken to the seasoned flour mix and turn several times until the coating adheres well.
   • Let the coated pieces rest 5 minutes to allow the crust to set slightly.
3. 3

   Frying

   • Preheat fryer or a deep pot to 175 °C (350 °F).
   • Fry the chicken in batches so the oil temperature remains steady. Breasts and wings about 12–14 minutes, legs and thighs a few minutes longer.
   • Check doneness: internal temperature should reach 74 °C (165 °F).
   • Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
