Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the chicken. If the oil is too hot, the chicken will burn.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Let the chicken rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. This will help to make the chicken more tender.
