  6. Test the oil by throwing in a pinch of bread crumbs. It should sizzle and cook right away and stay golden for 20-30 seconds without burning
  7. Put coated chicken pieces in for 5-6 minutes – turning once to cook both sides.

  8. Place chicken onto a plate covered with 2-3 layers of paper towel to dry. Serve immediately – If you still have a few left to go, put any cooked pieces into the oven on 100 degrees just to keep it warm
