For extra crispy chicken, try double-dredging the chicken pieces in the flour. After the first coating, dip the chicken in an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water), and then dredge again in the flour.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process. If the oil gets too hot, the chicken will burn on the outside before it's cooked through. If it's not hot enough, the chicken will be greasy.
Feel free to add your favorite spices to the flour mixture for extra flavor. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper are all great additions.
