Method
Soak the chicken in the laban with the hot sauce and half the salt for 4 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Mix the flour and cornstarch with all the spices and the rest of the salt, and beat the eggs in another dish.
Coat each piece in flour, then egg, then flour again, pressing it on.
Fry in medium-hot oil for 15 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp.
Drain on a rack and brush with honey if you like it sweet and spicy.
