Fried chicken

A crispy golden crust makes fried chicken look delicious. But not everyone can prepare the dish this way. It's not even about the marinade or special ingredients. It's enough to use one absolutely basic life hack, and the dish will turn out just as good as in restaurants.

Maria Zolotova shared this simple tip on her Facebook page Cooking Recipes.

She notes that to get a golden crust on fried chicken, add 1 tablespoon of flour to the pan while cooking. The meat will be very crispy on top and tender and juicy inside.
