Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour and place on a wire rack.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
