Special Precautions and Tips:
- For extra crispy chicken, double-bread the chicken pieces by dipping them in the flour mixture twice.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to prevent it from absorbing too much oil.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, whisk in additional milk until desired consistency is reached.
