2. Dredge the chicken. Line up two dishes- the first with the beaten eggs and the second with the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then egg, and back in the flour. Shake off excess.

3. 1st Fry- Heat up the vegetable oil in a dutch oven, or large pot/pan. Heat to around 350F. Gently place 4-5 pieces of chicken in pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, until chicken is golden brown. Remove and continue to fry the chicken in batches until they have all been fried. Place chicken on wire rack with paper towels below. Turn off heat and let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes.

4. 2nd Fry- Heat the oil back up to 375 degrees. Working in batches again, flash fry the chicken for 2 minutes, or until the batter turns a deep golden brown. Remove and place back on rack to cool.
