I use and prefer the buttermilk and cast iron method. Alton Brown shows and explains it in one of the Good Eats episodes. That's basically what I do.

I’ll give it a shot!
Thanks,

Panko bread crumbs if you want crispy!!!!
Self rising flour if you want thick and fluffy (think fish sticks from a good restaurant).

Piece size ?? For the best fried chicken you must use a pressure cooker! Less cook time juicy fried chicken, if cooking in regular ole fashion ways 325-350 temp, cool not cold chicken deep fried. When the batter begins to turn golden fry a little bit more and hen slap your mamma good chit!!! Egg/milk dip seasoned then flour.

Lard Salt n pepper Cast iron pan Some beer or likker or wine
Follow alton’s or Paula’s
But don’t forget about Julia Child and give the cook some wine ...more salt ....
If the top falls off of the salt shaker, remember- you can slice a potato and chuck it in the lard and it will absorb the salt...

I did the sous vide method with the last batch of wings, then a hour on the smoker at 250 to add some smoke flavor, then into the air fryer for 10 minutes at 390 to crisp up the skin.
Imagine the SV method would help since you've cooked the internal up to temp, the rest is just frying the outside...

I'm the first in my family to attempt to make fried chicken. My dad was born in Mexico and my mom was from Texas with mexican parents. Grandma and mom made tortillas from scratch.
I can cook a mean chorizo and egg burrito with nopales though! And don't get me started on chicken mole.
I'm the one in the family that decided to expand my culinary horizons. I'll try Crisco too. Thanks again for all the tips!
My mom used Crisco and a cast iron skillet. Chicken was just rolled in flour first. Was great stuff!
