Instructions

- Let the chicken sit in the mustard for at least 20 minutes. I usually coat the chicken in the morning, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge until dinner time.
- Fill a large deep pot or deep-fryer ½ full of oil.
- Preheat the oil to 325°F.
- While the oil is heating, combine all of the crust ingredients. Remove the mustard-coated chicken pieces from the bowl and coat with seasoned flour.
- Once the oil is heated, add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and fry until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove chicken from the oil and drain on a cooling rack or paper towels.
Notes
- Always cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
