Perfect Sauce Coating

The Secret to Crispy Frying

The key to perfectly crispy chicken is a second fry that removes excess moisture and creates a thick, crunchy snowflake-style coating.

To keep freshly fried chicken crisp, coat it quickly with sauce instead of tossing it for too long. Fast, even coating protects the crunch.

ONE CHICKEN. THREE WAYS TO SAUCE.

How you sauce your chicken changes the crunch. Toss for bold, even flavor, drizzle for a balance of sauce and crispiness, or dip to keep every bite extra crunchy.

DOUBLE FRY FOR
EXTRA CRUNCH

Want that irresistible, extra-crispy crunch? Fry your chicken twice! The first fry cooks the chicken and sets the coating, while the second fry removes excess moisture and creates a light, golden, ultra-crispy texture. The result? Perfectly crunchy fried chicken in every bite.

Double-Coat for Snowflake Crunch

After the first batter dip, roll the chicken in seasoned frying flour again. This second coating creates thick, airy flakes and an extra-crispy snowflake texture when fried.

The Perfect Toss

The secret to evenly coating the sauce while keeping the chicken crispy is all about temperature and timing. Toss freshly fried chicken quickly while it is still hot, then serve immediately for the perfect crunch.

Dipping Mastery

For maximum crispiness, dipping is the best choice. Dip twice-fried chicken, with excess moisture removed, into chilled sauce just before serving to preserve its crunch.
