kosher option3–4 cups unsweetened soy milk (optional)
2¼ cups oil for frying
1 tbsp salt, plus 1 tsp

How I make it

Put the milk (or soy milk) and the chicken in a pot and refrigerate overnight.
Take it out of the fridge and bring the chicken in the milk (or soy milk) to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the liquid and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry and put it in a bag. Add the flour, cayenne and salt, close the bag tightly and shake until all the chicken is coated.
Dip each coated piece in the beaten egg and return it to the bag for a second coat.
Heat the oil in a pot and fry the chicken on all sides.
Drain on paper towels and serve.
