He urges amateur chefs to mix the ingredients together 'well' before moving onto the wet batter.
'For the wet batter you will need one cup of flour, 0.5 tablespoons of baking soda, two tablespoons of hot sauce, one tablespoon of garlic powder, 1.25 cups of milk which you are going to dip your chicken into first,' he said.
'Get your chicken, dunk it into your wet batter and then compress that dry batter into the chicken.'
Once the chicken is coated in each batter you'll need to fry it for five minutes on each side, usually on a medium to high heat.
