Note

For extra crispy skin, let the coated chicken rest on a rack for 10-15 minutes before frying.

Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature; too hot burns the coating, too low makes it greasy.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350ðF to maintain crispiness.

Substitute buttermilk for yogurt in the marinade if desired for a tangier flavor.

Adjust spice levels by adding cayenne pepper or paprika to the flour mixture.
