- and let it rest for about 20 minutes. This helps the coating adhere better during frying.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
- In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in enough oil to submerge the chicken pieces (about 3-4 inches deep). Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5: Fry the Chicken
- Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking and browning.
