Hello,
I just got a new deep fryer (4.1 liter) and I'm trying to learn how to cook properly.
First, I tried french fries. They came out very crunchy but soft on the inside. They were too crunchy, but tasty.
I then tried fried chicken (battered in flour). The chicken came out so hard. It was WAY too crispy. The outside was almost like biting into thick egg shells. It was really gross.
What would be causing this? I cut the pieces of chicken breast up into small pieces (perhaps too small). I deep fried them at 375F for 13 minutes. Any tips to a newcomer? Thanks in advance!
