Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces using paper towels.
Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour with a little extra seasoning.
Coat each chicken piece thoroughly with the seasoned flour.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and crispy.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
In a separate saucepan, heat the BBQ sauce over low heat until warm.
Add the fried chicken pieces and toss gently until evenly coated with the barbecue sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot with French fries, coleslaw, or your favourite dipping sauce.
