Why is this Fried Chicken so Crispy?
This Chicken Fried Recipe is so good for a few reasons: ● To achieve crispiness on the outside while keeping the buttermilk-flour mix in a paste-like consistency, it is important to allow the mixture to cool down. ● Most chicken fried in oil is cooked at high temperatures throughout the cooking process.
