Hi Tess well another excellent recipe! I made this today for dinner , and it turned out terrific!. I just pushed myself away from the table, BEGRUDGINGLY, and look forward to leftovers tomorrow! I also froze 1/2 of the chicken after the first fry . Same with the sauce, before I popped the finished chicken in the sauce, I split it in two, froze one! When time to eat, thaw, fry 375°, add thawed sauce! YUMMY!
