For me, there are a few things you must do to get flavorful crispy golden brown well-done chicken…..
- You need to season the chicken well
- You need to coat the chicken with something……eggs, buttermilk or mustard
- The oil needs to be hot enough, but not too hot as to brown the chicken too much before it cooks through internally.
- Do not overcrowd the pan
