- Fry chicken pieces for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove chicken and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to keep it crispy.

Notes
Allow chicken to marinate overnight for best flavor and tenderness. Avoid overcrowding the frying pan to ensure even cooking.
