Critical Success Points

  • Cut the chicken through the bone for even pieces
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor and tenderize
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for a crisp skin
  • Add butter only after garlic is fragrant to avoid burning

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – keep a lid nearby and never leave unattended.
  • Use the heel of the knife when cutting through bone to maintain control.
  • Butter can burn quickly; add it after the garlic is fragrant.
