For an extra crispy coating, you can dredge the chicken in cornstarch before the flour mixture. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time to reach your desired consistency. Serve immediately for the best texture.
