Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 pounds (1 kilogram) baby chicken, cut into 1-inch (2-centimeter) chunks

  • 1 cup flour

  • oil, for deep-frying

Chicken Marinade

  • 3 eggs

  • 1/4 cup hot sauce

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Latke Batter

  • 3 Idaho or Russet potatoes

  • 2 cups flour

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Smoky Maple Aioli

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Marinate the Chicken

1.

Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add in chicken chunks and toss to coat well. Marinate for one hour.

Prepare the Latke Batter

1.

Peel and finely grate the potatoes for the latke batter. (It should be fine strings.) Transfer to a strainer. Rinse and drain well.

2.

In a large bowl, combine two cups flour, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and baking powder. Pour in seltzer and whisk until you have a thick batter. Mix in the grated potatoes.

Fry

1.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2.

In a small bowl, measure one cup flour. Dip chicken in the flour and shake off the excess. Next dip in the latke mixture.

3.

Deep-fry for approximately seven minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove nuggets from oil and transfer to a paper-towel-lined dish.

To Serve

1.

Combine maple aioli ingredients in a small dish and serve with the chicken.
