In the photo by Jonathan Melendez, which dip recipe did you use in the photo? Appreciate your response. -
Does not say how long to fry in a deep fryer or pan of oil? -
The aioli has a raw egg yolk in it. Any concerns about eating raw egg? Thanks.

Easy, delicious batter. Fast cooking if you use a deep fryer. If you don't have herb salt I recommend a mix of tarragon, rosemary and salt. I prefer making aioli with a whole egg, it comes out thicker, easier. I whisked the hell outta the recipe given but it came out a little thin and separated. Salvaged by dropping on top of another whole egg, adding a little more oil, and using hand blender. -
Thankyou! Slices as opposed to cubes would concentrate too much on batter. Thank you for a tasty balanced recipe!

I disagree with the instructions to cube the chicken. My approach is to partially freeze the chicken breast then slice the thinnest slices gives a higher crunch to chicken piece.
