Notes
- Marinate the chicken pieces in a mixture of all the ingredients listed above before frying them. This will help to ensure that the chicken is flavorful and juicy when it comes out of the fryer.
- Make sure to coat the chicken pieces evenly with the flour mixture before dipping them into the egg wash and then back into the flour mixture. This will ensure a nice and crunchy crust on the outside of the chicken.
- Once the chicken is coated, make sure to fry them on medium-high heat. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked all the way through while also providing a nice and crunchy texture.
- When the chicken pieces are done cooking, remove them from the oil and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep them juicy and flavorful.
