  • Pour oil into a FD or frying pan to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat the oil to about 340F. Sear onions and peppers. Then, Working in batches, drop the chicken into the egg and cornstarch mixture, coating it completely, and then into the oil and fry until golden, about 2 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
