For extra crispy chicken, consider using potato starch in addition to the flour.
A pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture can add a delightful kick.

    I added a little paprika to the flour mixture, and it was fantastic! Definitely a keeper.

  • Shanel Quitzon

    The lemon juice in the egg mixture adds a subtle tang that really complements the chicken. Thanks for sharing!

  • Dejon Kilback

    This recipe is amazing! The double coating makes the chicken so crispy and flavorful. My kids devoured it!

  • Watson Collins

    I had some trouble getting the chicken fully cooked without burning the outside. I think I need to adjust my oil temperature or cook in smaller batches next time.
