Description
Light, golden, crispy bites of delicious fried chicken.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Clean your chicken. Debone if you use bone-in, skin-on, and remove the skin. Cut thigh meat into bite-size pieces.
- Season with salt. Ideally, allow them to sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours but overnight is best if you have the time. This allows the salt to get in there and flavor the meat. However, in a pinch 20 minutes will do.
- Double fry the chicken. Heat oil to 250 degrees.
- (1st Fry) cook for 5-7 minutes until cooked through, but pale in color. Remove and place on plate with paper towel or cooking rack on sheet pan to rest. Work in batches so that you don’t over crowd the pan.
- (2nd Fry) Increase oil to 350 degrees. Add bites back into oil. Cook for 1 minute just to get some crisp and color.
Notes
If you want to add an additional dry seasonings like ones shared under Tips, toss as soon as bites come out of the grease so that it can stick to them well.
Marinate your chicken overnight (best), 2 hours (good), or at least 20 minutes to give the salt a chance to penetrate and flavor.
