Notes
Tips
- Be sure your containers are shallow so you can easily coat the chicken pieces.
- Give the chicken a gentle shake between each dipping to ensure an even coating.
- Fry your chicken in small batches to keep the oil hot and the coating crispy.
- Always make mixing the salad topping your first step. It needs to chill so the flavors can meld.
