Coat the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack to rest for about 10 minutes.
Frying

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

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken fillets to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately.
