Instructions

Step 1

Heat up fryer or deep pan with at least 1 quart of preferred oil to 320° Make your dry and wet mix in separate containers.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken 1st in the wet mix, then in the dry mix. Repeat this step for a double dip. Pro tip: Use 1 hand for dredging in the wet mix and 1 hand for dredging in the dry mix in order to prevent clumpy flour in either mix.

Step 3

Fry chicken at 320° while avoiding overcrowding to ensure consistency for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the chicken, turn up the heat to 350°, and fry the chicken again for 5-7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches at least 165°
