 Paul (Michigan) says:
Very crispy but lacking some flavor. I used more seasoning for the second batch and was better. My kids (who wont eat anything) really enjoyed.

I just made it tonight and I have to say it is WONDERFUL! I was looking for a great chicken battered recipe too and this is it! I never added the poultry seasoning since I can't eat it. But I recommend everyone tries it. It looked amazing and it kinda reminded me of kfc chicken!

I am having so much trouble lately keeping my chicken coating crispy. Is it because I am filling the skillet too full or because I am using E.V.O. Will try this one with shortening and see if it makes a difference---Thanks---Sharon

Great recipe and technique. I love the triple dipping...my mom and grandma always made fried chicken (southern family), but they never mentioned the dry/wet/dry method! Traditions will be changing.
