Tips:
- To achieve a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture. This creates a thicker crust that holds up well during frying.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for frying the chicken. This allows the pieces to cook evenly without overcrowding.
- Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) throughout the cooking process. This ensures that the chicken cooks through without burning.
- Fry the chicken pieces in batches to prevent overcrowding. This helps them cook evenly and prevents the oil temperature from dropping too low.
- Drain the cooked chicken pieces on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
