  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chile powder with lime (such as Tajin®)
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into small squares
  • vegetable oil for frying


  1. Combine flour, garlic powder, chile powder with lime, black pepper, seasoned salt, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Mix eggs and hot sauce together in a separate bowl until well blended.
  3. Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture; coat lightly in flour mixture. Dip into eggs again and coat thoroughly in flour mixture.
