Team cornstarch all the way! It gives the chicken a lighter, crispier crust that's out-of-this-world. Flour can work too, but it can get a little denser.

Totally agree with using cornstarch. It's amazing for that extra crispy texture. Flour just can't compete in my opinion!

Personally, I'm team cornstarch all the way for crispy chicken! It gives that extra crunch without feeling heavy. What about you?

My pick for achieving extra crispiness in fried chicken would be cornstarch, as it creates a lighter and crunchier coating compared to flour.
