Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Mix flour, cornstarch, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper in a shallow bowl. Coat chicken thoroughly.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers — about 2 minutes. Oil is ready when a piece of flour sizzles.
Step 4
Carefully add chicken to hot oil. Fry 5–6 minutes per side without moving until deep golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Meanwhile, bake frozen fries in a separate oven (or air fryer) at 425°F for 18–20 minutes until crispy.
Step 6
Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot alongside crispy fries and ketchup.
