Cooking

- Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Notes
If you have leftovers, store the fried chicken and toppings separately in airtight containers in the fridge for best freshness. The chicken will stay good for about 3-4 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. For extra flavor, you can add spices to the flour mixture, like cayenne pepper or dried herbs. Let the chicken rest after frying to maintain its crispiness.
