Heat the Oil

Coat the Chicken
Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
