To use, place the chicken fry mix in a shallow dish or bag. Dredge each piece of chicken thoroughly in the mix, ensuring it is fully coated. For an extra crispy coating, you can dip the coated chicken in water or egg wash and then dredge it again in the mix. The coated chicken is then ready to be fried in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through. The blend's seasonings adhere well to the meat, creating a flavorful crust.

How to keep the rest
