Notes
For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to ensure it becomes crispy. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying to keep it juicy. If you have leftovers, store components separately, keeping fried chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
