Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Shake off any excess flour.
Frying the Chicken

Heat the Oil

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly before serving.
