Notes

  • Let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before frying. If you start frying the chicken straight from the fridge, the oil temperature will drop, and your chicken will not cook evenly. It will absorb oil, and your chicken may not be crisp. 
  • Do not fry the chicken more than 3 to 4 pieces at a time. Because, crowding the pan with chicken will lower the oil temperature, up the cooking time, and make the flour coating greasy. 
  • What oil should you use for frying? You should use a neutral oil like canola, vegetable, and peanut oil.
