Heat 4 Inches of Oil to 300 Degrees F Over Medium-High Heat in a Medium Dutch Oven or Heavy Pot. Fry the Chicken in Batches, Skin Side Down, Until Golden Brown, About 10 Minutes. Turn and Fry Until Golden Brown on the Second Side, 8 to 10 Minutes Longer. Remove the Chicken and Drain on Paper Towels.
