💡 For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken by repeating the breading process.Serve with potato salad and corn on the cob for a complete meal.To avoid oil splatter, make sure the chicken is fully dry before frying.For a lighter alternative, you can use an air fryer at 400°F for around 15 minutes.
