Using the right flour can be the key to perfecting your fried chicken, and one of the best options is Wondra flour, a pre-cooked and finely ground flour with low protein.

Because it's been pregelatinized and has little protein, Wondra flour is less likely to clump while frying. Rather, it produces a light and airy fry that lends a delicious crunch.

If you’re gluten-free, you can also swap in rice flour. Rice flour is less absorbent than regular flour, so your fried chicken is less likely to become soggy or greasy.

Self-rising flour is also great for fried chicken, as the baking powder in it will create air bubbles during frying and give your fried chicken a crunchy, delicious crust.
