đź’ˇ Tips

For even coating, shake the bag thoroughly and make sure there are no clumps.Letting the coating sit in the fridge ensures it adheres better for crispier results.Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for consistent frying and avoid burning.Serve with classic Southern sides like coleslaw or mashed potatoes for a full meal.
