Notes

Cooking Tips

For the English’s Fried Chicken recipe, here are some key cooking tips:
Proper Coating: Ensure each piece of Chicken is thoroughly coated with the flour mixture for a crisp exterior.
Oil Temperature: Maintain the correct oil temperature (around 375°F) to avoid undercooked or overly greasy Chicken.
Avoid Overcrowding: Fry the Chicken in batches to prevent a drop in oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Patting Dry: Before coating, pat the Chicken dry to help the flour mixture adhere better.
Resting Time: Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before frying. This helps the coating stick to the Chicken during frying.
