Important Notes

⚠️

Drying the chicken thoroughly after brining is crucial for the batter to stick properly.

⚠️

The addition of alcohol (whiskey) in the batter helps create a crispier texture by evaporating quickly during frying.

⚠️

The cocoa adds a subtle depth and darkness to the crust's flavor without making it sweet.
