So how long does deep fried chicken take? Anywhere from 8 to 20 minutes, depending on your ambition, your chicken’s ego, and your oil’s stability. Do a test piece first. Seriously.
And if you mess up? Just call it “extra crispy” and pour on the hot sauce. No one will judge you. Or they will, but then they’ll probably eat it anyway—because it’s still fried chicken, and life’s too short for shame.
Now go fry something. Your stomach knows the drill.
