Notes

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get that crispy texture. Use a thermometer if you have one! Don’t overcrowd the skillet. Fry the strips in batches to avoid steaming them. Adjust the seasoning in the flour mixture based on your taste preferences. You can add a bit of cayenne pepper for extra heat!
