  Combine spices with flour, brown sugar and salt.

  Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture. Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.

  
• 4
  Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.

  Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 80°C
