No-Oil-Burst Crispy Deep Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

4 pcs. quarter-cut chicken
500 mL cooking oil
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. ground dried basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Procedure:
1. Wash chicken cuts and season with salt and pepper.
2. Combine breadcrumbs and basil, set aside in a plate for breading.
3. Dip each cut into beaten egg and roll over the plate of breadcrumbs and basil mix. Make sure the chicken is fully breaded.
4. Heat cooking oil in a deep pan and set the fire on low heat before putting the breaded chicken. TIP: Instead of covering the pan with a usual enclosed cover, use a strainer instead so it won't build up any steam that can produce water and cause the oil to burst.
5. Deep frying chicken can take about 20minutes. Place it in the strainer to drain excess oil.
