Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts and thighs, and use a flavorful breading mix.
Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to keep it moist and tender. This step is especially important if you are using boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Double-coat the chicken: Dredge the chicken in flour, then eggs, and then breading. This double-coating helps to create a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Fry the chicken at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying chicken is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is too hot, the chicken will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oil is too cool, the chicken will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
Let the chicken rest before serving: After frying, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and the chicken to become more tender.
