Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the chicken for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
  • Coating the chicken thoroughly with the flour mixture, pressing into crevices.
  • Maintaining oil temperature at 350°F throughout frying.
  • Draining fried chicken on a wire rack to keep it crisp.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – use a thermometer and never leave unattended.
  • Do not overfill the pot; oil may spill and ignite.
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C) to avoid foodborne illness.
