For extra crispy chicken, double dredge the chicken in the flour mixture. Serve with rice and refried beans topped with melted cheese for a complete Tex-Mex experience. Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your preferred level of spice. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to prevent burning the chicken before it's cooked through.
