Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be sure to use a thermometer to ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet or fryer, as this will lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy chicken.
• To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer and check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
