Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 5 cloves minced garlic (or 5 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3–4 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 3 quarts vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 7 cloves minced garlic (or 8 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic)
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken pieces to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, lightly beat egg whites.
