Notes
When frying chicken, it is important to ensure the chicken is cooked through but isn’t dry. The first rule is to make sure that the chicken is brought down to room temperature before the cooking process.
Once the chicken has been marinated, start frying the chicken in really hot oil (about 200c) then half way through the cooking process, reduce the heat it to medium (170c). This is so the chicken has a beautiful crispy/brown exterior but the insides are cooked and still juicy.
