Recipe notes

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
  • Toss the chicken with the sauce just before serving to maintain crispiness.

Storage notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
