• In order for the chicken to fry well and not absorb oil, it is necessary to lay the product in hot oil. And in no case in large quantities. Otherwise, the temperature of the fat in the pan drops sharply, and the batter begins to absorb oil.

You can repeat more times, depending on the desired result. Such breading can be done not only with flour, but also with breadcrumbs.
