Great recipe and technique but it needs more flavor. The triple dip makes an amazing extra crispy coating.

 Rose (Ohio) says:
This was a easy recipe, just a little messy. I added more spices then what was stated but other than that it came out nice and crunchy. I used chicken tenders, it cooks up faster and easier to fry.

This recipe is my new base for UNBELIEVABLE fried chicken! I added chicken seasoning & some wing sauce to the wet batter, and deep fried in lard, OMG it was off the hook! Super crispy, just had to cook longer cause I used boneless skinless breasts about 12 min. I have tried other recipes in the past & this is the best by far. Thanks for a WINNER!

This recipe is the best one I have found for anything online. The batter is crispy and tasty. My husband is an extremely picky eater and asks me to make this once or twice a week.

Crisco!!! Really??? Trans fats galore! I use Palm oil shortening or pure un-hydrogented lard...yes lard, from grass fed cows! Read the Liberation Diet. It is all our ancestors ate.

 Sheila (Alaska) says:
FYI - The current Crisco formulations are trans-fat free. Have been for a few years now.
