FAQS

  1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks?

    Yes, you can use chicken thighs, but the cooking time may vary slightly depending on their size.

  2. What type of oil is best for frying?

    Vegetable oil or canola oil works best for frying as they have a high smoke point.

  3. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

    Yes, you can substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe gluten-free.

  4. How do I ensure the chicken is cooked through?

    Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. Can I skip the oven step?

    The oven step helps ensure the chicken is cooked evenly and remains juicy. However, you can skip it if the chicken is fully cooked after frying.
