Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fried chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use skin-on chicken, but keep in mind that it may require a longer cooking time to ensure the meat is cooked through. The skin will also add extra richness and flavor, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
What can I use instead of vegetable oil for frying?
You can substitute vegetable oil with canola oil or peanut oil, both of which have high smoke points and are great for frying. Alternatively, for a unique flavor, try using olive oil, although it may impart a different taste to the dish.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make Aunt Ange's Chicken gluten-free, simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, including any seasonings, are also gluten-free. This will allow you to enjoy the dish without compromising on flavor or texture.
