Soak Chicken in Marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Whisk together all Breading ingredients in a wide shallow bowl.
Dredge the marinated chicken in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to create a rough texture, then shake off excess.
Deep fry in oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then toss immediately with additional fresh lemon zest and cracked black pepper while hot.
