But you know what they didn't teach me in culinary school? How to make fried chicken — the juicy-on-the-inside, crunchy-on-the-outside, insanely flavorful kind that makes you lick every last bit off your fingers. Luckily there are plenty of folks out there who've mastered it, so we talked to chefs from Husk, Prince's Hot Chicken and more to get their tips. One trick in particular blew me away, and I'm going to try it out ASAP for my dad this Father's Day.
