3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet until it reaches 175 degree. Drop the chicken and fry for 5 minutes until it gets lightly golden. Take them out and place on a plate with paper towel. When all the chicken pieces are fried, go back to the first batch and fry for second time, about 3 minutes or until they get nicely golden brown.
