Notes

  • Take the thighs or breast pieces of chicken.
  • Hammering and pounding chicken can make it more tender and juicy from inside. 
  • Don't over-spice the chicken pieces.
  • Overnight marination is good!
  • For signature fried chicken texture, always fry chicken at high to medium flame. 
  • At low temperature, chicken can release water and will become soggy. 
  • Never cover chicken pieces right after frying.
