Critical Success Points

  • Ensuring the oil reaches and maintains ~350°F for proper crispness.
  • Coating the chicken without over‑breading; a thin, even layer is key.
  • Not overcrowding the skillet; this drops oil temperature and leads to soggy chicken.
  • Stopping waffle batter mixing as soon as ingredients are combined.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; keep a lid nearby to cover the pan if splattering occurs.
  • Use a thermometer to verify oil temperature and chicken internal temperature.
