Instructions

Get all of your ingredients ready. Then, heat the oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place the green beans and water in a saucepan. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil. Cook the green beans until they turn bright green, which should take about 4 minutes. Drain the water and transfer the beans to a bowl. Cover them with cold water and set aside.
In one bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain the green beans and toss them with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured beans into the egg mixture, then coat them thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture.
Fry the beans in small batches, making sure they don't touch each other in the fryer. Cook them until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 2 minutes. Drain the fried green beans on paper towels to remove excess oil.
