Frying the chicken

- Dip the marinated chicken into the flour. Dust off the excess flour.
- Once the oil is hot, place the chicken pieces into the pot, making sure the oil covers the chicken.
- After XX minutes, turn the heat down to medium, to prevent the chicken’s skin from browning too fast.
- Fry the chicken until both sides are cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
| Use a deep pot to fry the chicken for better result. When frying, the oil has to cover the chicken fully.
