  3. Melt enough Peanut Oil, (most recommended) Vegetable shortening or salad oil to make 1 inch depth in a large skillet. if you mix 1/2 peanut oil and 1/2 vegetable oil the mixture will handle the heat better and your chicken will be crispier in the end.
     
  4. Heat the oil in your deep fryer, or a deep skillet to 375 degrees F.  Fry chicken pieces, 2 only at a time, turning once, every 5 minutes, be sure to cook chicken until done. The Chicken will be best and crispiest if fried in a covered deep fryer, or in a basket containing only 2 pieces at most so that it doesn't get to cool while it is frying, and become greasy. Consistent heat is essential to crispy frying.
     
  5. Lift chicken out and drain on paper towels. You can keep the chicken warm by placing it in the oven on a cookie sheet, on 200 degrees f. and serve when all pieces are finished cooking.
