Notes
Tips
- Be sure the oil is nice and hot before frying the chicken, and work in batches to ensure the oil remains hot.
- Don't skip pounding the chicken. Getting it thin is what allows it to fully cook by the time the coating is nice and crunchy.
- To easily pound your chicken, place it in a resealable baggie and pound it with the flat side of a mallet. This eliminates tons of cleanup and bacterial spread.
- I don't recommend using regular milk for this breading. If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with a cup of milk and let it sit for five minutes to create your own.
