Doneness
Breading is restored to crisp golden-brown; internal temperature reads 150 °F or higher when probed at the bone.
Technique
Let the chicken sit out 10 minutes to come closer to room temperature — this prevents the breading from over-crisping while the meat is still cold inside. No oil needed; the original frying oil rehydrates as it warms.
Watch out for
- Do not stack pieces. Crowded baskets steam the breading off.
- Bone-in pieces (drumsticks, thighs) need the full 5 minutes; boneless pieces are done at 3.
