Ingredients

as needed Cold chicken, cut into small pieces
to taste Salt
to taste Black pepper
from 1 lemon Lemon juice
2 large Eggs
1 pint Whole milk
as needed Flour
for frying Vegetable oil or other frying oil

Instructions

1Cut the cold chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken pieces in a dish. Season with salt, pepper, and the juice of a lemon. Let the chicken marinate for 1 hour.
2In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in flour, a little at a time, until the batter reaches a consistency that is not too stiff, but coats the back of a spoon.
3Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Stir the marinated chicken pieces into the batter. Drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry the fritters until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve immediately.
