(If you have an oil thermometer, it should read 350ºF.) Avoid overcrowding the pan, so cook the chicken in 2 batches, if necessary. Cook smaller pieces for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, cook larger pieces for 12-15 minutes total. Let the finished pieces drain on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
