Ranch Crack Chicken Salad
RANCH CRACK CHICKEN SALAD 2 words… GAME CHANGER.Â
It’s all in this crackle we make and coat the chicken in. Also the double fry, is key! Legit, the CRISPIEST. CRUNCHIEST CHICKEN I have ever made. And also, still soooo tender on the inside.Â
Â
The seltzer is key and does make a difference – so try not to sub.Â
I also made it in the oven, was ok…Â
Nothing beats a deep fry.Â
