Important Notes

⚠️

Brining the chicken is a key step to ensure the final product is juicy and flavorful; do not skip this step.

⚠️

Making sure the chicken is completely dry after brining is essential for the coating to adhere properly and for the skin to become extra crispy.

⚠️

The double-dredging method—first in a wet batter, then in a dry seasoned flour mix—is what creates the signature thick and craggy KFC-style crust.

⚠️

Fry over a consistent medium heat to allow the chicken to cook through to the bone without burning the exterior.
