Hey fellow crispy chicken fans! I usually fry my chicken for about 12-15 minutes to get that perfect golden crunch, flipping halfway through. Thanks for any extra tips you can share, love hearing how others do it!

Though it's tempting to check often, I think avoiding overcrowding the pan ensures each piece gets evenly fried and maintains that golden crunch.

It depends on the size of your pieces, but I usually shoot for around 7-8 minutes per side for chicken pieces like thighs or breasts. You want to see that golden brown happening, and the internal temperature should hit 165°F for safety! Don't crowd the pan, and keep an eye on it - you don't want burnt chicken!
