Take a piece of the seasoned chicken and place it into the flour coating. Dredge the chicken thoroughly, ensuring it is completely covered. Shake off any excess flour and place the floured chicken on a wire rack. For a double coating, dip the floured chicken back into the remaining wet seasoned mixture, then dredge it again in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour and place back on the wire rack. Repeat for all chicken pieces.

Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil using tongs. Fry the chicken for approximately 20 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the chicken is fried until 'dry' to prevent the sauce from making it soggy. Once fried, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a clean wire rack to drain excess oil.
