Crispy fried chicken is a signature dish in many Western fast-food restaurants. There are various types of fried chicken, but generally, fried chicken flour is used, which is key to achieving crispy skin. When making it at home, if you don't have fried chicken flour, you can try using starch instead. Of course, controlling the heat is also very important.
