Fried chicken and hot sauce, whats not to love?

1 1/3 cups (200g) plain flour
2 1/2 tsp brown sugar
2 eggwhites
1kg chicken tenderloins
Sunflower oil, to deep-fry
Store-bought hot sauce (we used sriracha), to serve

Spice mix

2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp each sweet paprika , chilli powder, ground white pepper, celery salt and garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil

Method

1.

For the spice mix, combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
2.

To make the chicken, combine spice mix, flour, sugar and 2 tsp salt flakes in a bowl. Place eggwhites in a separate bowl and whisk until frothy. Dip chicken, 1 piece at a time, in eggwhite, then dip in flour mixture, transfer to a tray and chill for 10 minutes.
3.

Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with sunflower oil and heat to 180°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 90 seconds when the oil is hot enough).
4.

In 3 batches, deep-fry chicken, turning halfway, for 3 minutes or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining chicken.
5.

Scatter with salt flakes while hot and serve with hot sauce.
