  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for frying. This will help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. The ideal temperature for frying chicken is between 350°F and 375°F.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying chicken. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the chicken in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the chicken will be more tender.
