Directions
Preheat lard in a heavy bottomed pot to 350°F.
Begin by breaking the chicken down into eight pieces: 2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 drums, and 2 breasts.
Prepare your 3-step breading station by placing flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs seasoned with kosher salt and pepper into separate bowls.
Dredge the chicken in the flour, then the egg wash, and then the breadcrumbs. Repeat for each piece of chicken. Make sure it is fully coated at each stage.
Working in batches, fry chicken for 6-8 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Using a wire strainer, remove chicken from the lard and transfer to a wire rack-lined baking tray. Season with kosher salt.
