sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper; rub seasonings into chicken; coat chicken with pure vegetable shortening (this will help seal in the juices). measure the breading ingredients -- except flour and cornstarch -into a large sealable container or a large zip-lock bag; seal the container; shake to blend; open container and add 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch; seal and shake again, until thoroughly combined. beat 4 large eggs in a medium bowl for the eggwash. dip 1-2 pieces wet chicken at a time into the eggwash to coat. place wet chicken into the breading mixture container; seal container firmly; shake chicken gently in all motions to thoroughly coat chicken. transfer chicken pieces onto a cooling rack when chicken is evenly and generously breaded; allow chicken to rest and absorb the breading for a few minutes before frying. preheat deep-fryer manufacturer's recommended amount of canola oil; very slowly heat oil in gradual increments to 315f until preheated. add breaded chicken to the elevated fry basket in deep-fryer without crowding. lower the deep-frying basket with chicken very slowly into the hot oil; fry chicken until golden and crisp, until fully cooked fully cooked and juices run clear (about 15-18 minutes, depending on chicken portion/size). drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet. note: to keep chicken warm before serving, place chicken on a rack-fitted baking sheet covered with a sheet of foil in preheated 170f oven; serve and enjoy!
