1 whole spring chicken (cornish game hen)

2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

In a steamer, pour the water and bring to a boil.

Steam the chicken for 45 minutes

Remove the chicken from the steamer and allow the excess liquid to drip. Let the chicken cool down.

Rub salt and pepper all over the chicken.

In a deep-fryer or tall pot, pour the cooking oil and apply heat.

When the cooking oil is hot enough, deep-fry the chicken for about 12 minutes. (If the chicken is not entirely immersed in oil, flip the chicken to fry the other side for another 12 minutes or until color turns golden brown)

Remove the chicken from the fryer and allow oil to drip.
