❓ FAQs – Common Questions

💬 Can I bake instead of fry?
Yes! Drain the chicken, pat it dry, then bake at 400 (200°C) for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or air-fry for added crispiness.

💬 How do I store leftovers?
Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them back up.

💬 Can I make this ahead?
Yes! Coat the chicken and chill it for up to 6 hours before frying. The glaze can be prepared ahead, too.
