  2. In a wide bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and Tony's seasoning until combined.
  3. Fill a Dutch oven with 1½ inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture, then fry in hot oil for 6-7 minutes each side until golden brown. Drain excess oil on a wire rack.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine bourbon and sweet chili sauce, simmering for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
