For extra crispy chicken, let the dredged chicken rest on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before frying. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a spicy kick. Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent throughout the frying process. Adjust the heat as needed. Avoid overcrowding the pan, or the oil temperature will drop, and the chicken will become soggy. Brining the chicken for a few hours before dredging will help to keep it moist during frying.
