• Pour the oil into a medium (9-inch round x 4 1/2-inch high) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, fitted with a candy thermometer, until the oil is 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over high heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, lift the chicken from the marinade, dredge it well in the flour mixture, submerge it again in the marinade, then dredge again in the flour mixture, dusting off the excess. Transfer the chicken to a plate or sheet pan until ready to fry.

• Place the chicken on a wire rack with a baking tray underneath. Now you're ready to start frying.
• Fill a deep cast-iron frying pan or heavy- based medium saucepan half full with oil and heat until the temperature reaches 170C on a cooking thermometer. Put a wire rack on a second tray, ready to drain the fried chicken.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Place 3-4 pieces of chicken into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook for 10-12 mins. Poke your thermometer into the meat next to the bone - it will be cooked when it reaches 73C.
