Tips

  • Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Make sure to squeeze each piece of chicken and coat well with seasoned flour.
  • When the oil is hot on medium low heat, fry each piece of chicken until golden brown, turning halfway for about seven minutes.
  • Make sure to fry on medium heat and not high heat, or the outside will burn and the inside of the chicken will be raw.
  • Let the chicken rest 10 minutes.
