Break down the rotisserie chicken into eight pieces.

Add approximately 1/3 cup of flour to a large bowl.

Add onion powder, garlic powder, and a dash of MSG to the flour and mix.

Toss the rotisserie chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat them.

Preheat vegetable oil in a deep skillet.

In another bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of cornstarch.

Season the flour and cornstarch mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.

Add sparkling mineral water gradually until the mixture reaches a pancake batter consistency.

Coat each dredged chicken piece in the wet batter.

Fry the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil until golden brown, which will take only a few minutes due to the chicken being pre-cooked.

Remove the fried chicken and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
