- Season the Flour: Add herbs and spices to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
- Double Coat the Chicken: Dredge the chicken in flour, then buttermilk, then flour again for a thicker, crispier crust.
- Fry at the Right Temperature: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F) before adding the chicken.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pot: Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Let the Chicken Rest: After frying, let the chicken rest on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes the chicken more tender.
