Notes

The source specifies oil for frying but does not give an amount. The chicken ingredient list includes garlic powder in the method but does not specify its quantity, so it is retained as an unquantified ingredient. Fry in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding, though batch size is not specified in the source.
