Tasting Journal: This was the best attempt I've tried on this recipe, I don't have a picture of the final presentation, because they went so fast! I used boneless skinless things, and cut them into 1 inch by 1 inch pieces before marinating them. I also used a fryer, which held the tempt to 350 F perfectly, which was so so so important to the color and texture of the flour.
