Skipping the Brine Brining the chicken helps keep it moist and tender, so don't skip this important step.

[{"selector":"#anim-22fcca79-30f6-456c-b04e-89449e01fe05 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-23.91826848370481%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-715c6c09-d83b-49ba-a62c-daaf8951a4d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-133.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2eea31ec-625c-439e-a9d3-afd9f930a9ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c563e83-10ca-4d2c-b053-d9bfc9b7ff43","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Overcrowding the pan Frying too many chicken pieces at once can lower the temperature of the oil and result in unevenly cooked chicken. Fry in batches if necessary

[{"selector":"#anim-bd5bacbd-2da5-4d6a-8d88-282b98d75135 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d38b6e17-2428-4340-ac70-a72b687b1082","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-131.47411%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a057f48-bf61-4e8c-84a8-e2bc87927e0f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a4e0c91-a0de-4b2e-9486-5e911221351b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Using the wrong oil Use an oil with a high smoke point like vegetable or canola oil, and make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken

[{"selector":"#anim-d860f661-50f5-4588-85bd-5c9b9d808d18 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-48d15b0a-5d5f-47fa-836d-84d822a2ea4e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-128.03031%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a2e0947a-0470-44a5-b4ed-ad32f9ea4210","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9f238e5-969d-475e-9afc-9ed8793b9335","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Not seasoning properly Season the chicken generously with salt and any other desired spices before breading and frying

Overcooking the chicken Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough, so monitor the cooking time and temperature carefully

[{"selector":"#anim-83333f6b-b963-4707-aaf6-5d5bb5005e6d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-22.226562331471857%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e1dd1c9-dfa6-45ee-94d2-31fba00598c1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-131.87252%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d43dc891-bda4-4ac1-bffd-d96ebc9242e4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f3f796e6-9391-4384-a852-444a3561d123","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Not letting the chicken rest Let the fried chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure maximum flavor
