unbibiumMistakes made so far, apart from carving:
1. The chicken was too big, and therefore I can't fit all eight pieces in the pan at once. Considering it takes close to a half hour to fry the whole thing, I don't know if I should fry them afterwards -- they'll have been at room temperature for too long, and I wouldn't put them in the fridge like they are. The space problme may also have to do with the skin integrity problems I had while carving.
2. Forgot to put the seasoning on a few of the pieces before I put the flour on them. And I don't think they're the same pieces.... On Good Eats, they seasoned all the pieces before dredging, but I don't quite have that kind of room. I may have to be more creative about my layout next time.
3. Couldn't recognize the chicken pieces by shape; had to feel them for the bone structure.
4. Forgot to put the splatter guard on for the first few minutes.
I also am not sure I've got this temperature control thing down. We'll find out.
So far, it looks like this will at least be edible, and if I do this again it'll be better.
