Notes
Tips
- Your oil is ready for frying when it sizzles if you flick a drop of water into it.
- Give your chicken a gentle tap between dredges for the perfect coating.
- Fry your chicken in small batches to ensure the oil stays hot and the coating gets crisp.
- Use a meat thermometer to check your breasts for doneness. They're ready when the internal temperature registers 165°F.
