Bojangles Fried Chicken Recipe

Any time I have a hankering for some breaded chicken, I can't help but look to make some of Bojangles fried chicken!
This copycat recipe hits the mark and captures that signature crispy and crunchy surface that Bojangles is famous for.
Immerse the chicken in marinade for up to four hours or overnight to enhance the tenderness and depth of taste.
Double dredging the chicken is the secret to achieving that exceptional crispiness you know and love from Bojangles.
