Notes
Double-bread your chicken for extra crunch. Maintain the temperature of the oil for crispy results. Experiment with sauces like garlic mayo or spicy ranch to enhance flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for a month. Reheat in an oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
