Notes
Tips for achieving the perfect crispy texture
Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the chicken. If the oil is too hot, the chicken will burn on the outside before cooking through. If the oil is too cold, the chicken will absorb more oil and become greasy.
Allow the coated chicken to rest for a few minutes before frying. This helps the flour mixture adhere better to the chicken, resulting in a crispier coating.
Use a wire rack to drain the fried chicken instead of placing it directly on a paper towel. This allows air to circulate around the chicken, preventing it from becoming soggy.
