Peanut oil has a high smoke point (450°F) and a subtle nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with breaded chicken. Think of it as the secret weapon for that shatteringly crispy crust.
It’s a bit pricier, but it’s the kind of oil that makes you wonder, “Why haven’t I been using this forever?” Just skip it if you have peanut allergies (obviously)—and remember, it’s not for deep frying alone; shallow frying in peanut oil works magic.
