For extra crispy chicken, consider double-dredging the chicken in the rice flour mixture before frying.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level. A pinch of black pepper can also be added for extra flavor.
If you don't have a deep fryer, a large saucepan works well. Just make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the chicken.
Marinating for the full 48 hours really enhances the flavor, but 24 hours will still yield delicious results.
Experiment with other spices! A little ginger or sesame oil in the marinade can add a unique twist.
