Welcome to Bonita's Kitchen and introduction to the recipe.

Prepare the seasoning mix: combine 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 1.5 teaspoons paprika, 1.5 teaspoons ground thyme, 1.5 teaspoons onion powder, 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1.5 teaspoons black pepper in a plastic bag.

Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the bag with the seasoning and shake to combine.

Wash and scrub 4-6 potatoes, then cut each potato into 6-8 wedges.

Soak the potato wedges in water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain.

Prepare the wet rub by cracking 1 egg into a bowl, adding 0.5 teaspoons sea salt, and 1 cup of whole milk, then mix well.

Dip the potato wedges into the wet rub, then into the dry rub, coating them well. Repeat this process for a second coating.

Set the coated potato wedges aside on a plate.

Prepare the chicken thighs by dipping them into the same wet rub, then into the dry rub, ensuring they are well coated.

Heat a proper deep fryer for frying the potato wedges and chicken.

Deep fry the potato wedges until crispy and golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Deep fry the chicken thighs until cooked through and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.
