- Breaded chicken
- Hot oil
Step 4: First fry
Once the oil is at 350°F/176°C., working in batches, gently lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil for the first fry.
Keep the chicken moving with a slotted spoon or straining and until just lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. It will not be fully cooked but set the chicken on the wire rack to let drain and rest.
Meanwhile, add the next batch of raw breaded chicken from the tray and repeat until all the batches have been fried once.
