INGREDIENTS:  

• Five cups of plain flour
• Half a tablespoon of oregano & thyme
• One tablespoon of brown ginger
• Two tablespoons of garlic powder
• One tablespoon of mustard powder
• One tablespoon of celery salt
• One tablespoon of black pepper
• One-third of a tablespoon of sea salt
• Two tablespoons of white pepper
• Four tablespoons of paprika
• Chicken 

METHOD: 

• Add the flour to the herbs and spices. Then use three parts flour to one part self-raising flour.
• Season the chicken in a mix when at room temperature.
• Egg wash your chicken using egg white and milk. Then re-season in the mix.
• Fry the chicken for five to six minutes at 160C to 165 degrees before placing it in a pre-heated 180 degrees oven - then give it a final 90-second fry prior to serving.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:  

You have to have a deep fryer and you need the right mix of the herbs and spices. Oil needs to be 160-165 degrees no more and no less. 

Chicken needs to be room temperature and you use egg white and milk as the wash (no yolk).

The chicken lover explained that basil was the 11th ingredient but that he often leaves it out as it doesn't add much flavour to the jam-packed recipe
