  • Season the chicken well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Coat the chicken in flour: Dredge the chicken in flour before frying it. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil: Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the chicken. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown: Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. You can also use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
