- In a shallow bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
- Dip each chicken piece into the cornstarch, then the egg wash, and back into the cornstarch before placing them on the baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
