Notes
Once the chicken is ready to be fried, you can opt to bake it. Just bake it in a pre-heated oven at 200° Celsius (400° F) for about half an hour or until browned and crispy or the internal temperature reaches 74° Celsius (165° F).
You can replace cornflakes with breadcrumbs.
Use the deep fry method to fry, as the chicken will soak up much less oil. The oil should be heated to 350° Celsius (350°F). Do not overcrowd the frying pan, or else the oil will get cold and you will not get enough crispiness.
Check to see the crust is lightly brown and crispy and the internal temperature on the thickest part of a piece reaches 74° Celsius (165°F).
