Heat the oil in a cast iron pot until 330- 335 degrees F is reached
In a ziplock bag add the flour and seasonings (garlic, onion, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper)
Place 1-2 pieces of chicken in the ziplock bag, shake to evenly coat the chicken in the flour mixture
Slowly add one piece of chicken to the oil, make sure to not drop to avoid a splash of hot oil
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flip the chicken and cook for another few minutes
When you take the chicken out, place on a paper towel or cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath to let excess oil drain
Use a kitchen thermometer to check the chicken internal temperature, it should be 165 degrees F
Before frying more chicken, check the temperature of the oil to ensure it’s still at 330-335 degrees F
