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.
