• To ensure even cooking, make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying the chicken.
• If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a large pot and fill it with enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.

• Pair them with a side salad or fries for a delicious main course.
• These Chicken Baskets are best enjoyed fresh and hot, but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated.
