Ingrediënten
Marinate the chicken in honey and spices for a few hours (or overnight). This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the chicken and makes it even juicier.
For an extra crispy exterior, double-coat the chicken by dipping it in the flour mixture again before frying. This will create a thicker, crunchier layer.
Make sure the oil is hot (about 175°C) before frying. If the oil is too cold, the chicken will become greasy instead of crispy. If it’s too hot, the outside will burn while the inside remains undercooked.
Lightly toast the breadcrumbs in a dry pan beforehand. This will enhance the flavor and make the coating even crunchier.
Add extra flavor to the buns by including pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a sauce like honey mustard, aioli, or sriracha mayo.
Cut the chicken into even pieces so they cook evenly during frying.
Swap out chicken breast for chicken thighs for a juicier bite.
