In another container , mix flour and salt for first coating .
Now , cool the steamed chicken . Needn’t cook completely but shouldn’t be hot .
Start coating .
Cover the chicken with first coating mixture .
keep the coated chicken pieces aside for 5 minutes .
Now , we need 4 cups milk .
Dip the coated chicken in milk and do last flour coating .
Similarly , do double coating . Dip the chicken again into milk and last flour coating .
Keep it aside for 5 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wok .
Make sure the oil is hot and then drop the coated chicken pieces one by one in the hot oil .
Fry the chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes . Do not overcrowd and fry in batches .
Remove excess oil and serve hot hot with hummus / sauces / garlic mayo. Serve with French fries and burger buns to bring the authentic AlBaik effect at home .
