Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss chicken with salt, pepper, and minced garlic until evenly coated.

  2. Step 2

    Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess. Let sit 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Working in batches, fry chicken skin-side down without moving until golden brown, 5-6 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip and fry until cooked through and internal temp reaches 165°F, 4-5 minutes longer.

  6. Step 6

    While chicken finishes, bake fries in a separate oven at 400°F for 12 minutes until golden.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with fries while hot.
