Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy chicken, double coat the chicken by dipping it back into the marinade and then into the flour mixture.
• Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't become greasy.
• To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165掳F (74掳C).

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken in the oven at 350掳F (175掳C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
• Serve the KFC-style chicken as a main dish with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread for a complete meal.
