This crispy and tender fried chicken has a light and delicious coating that is crunchy, yet the chicken itself is juicy and tender. You can do this with just a few tablespoons of oil and a non-stick skillet.

Dust both sides of the chicken with the flour mixture.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the pan skin side up. Fry for 4-5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, putting the skin side down.
Cover the skillet and continue frying the meat. I found that this helps the meat cook evenly, faster and still retains the crispy skin. Cook another 4-5 minutes. Temp the legs and wings, if they are done, remove them from the pan and continue cooking the breast and thigh until it reaches 165 degrees.
Let the chicken rest on a plate or platter 5-10 minutes to seal in the juices before serving.
