All right, we are back with the finished Southern Fried Chicken and again, I've finished mine on a counter top convection broiler oven of sort and I put the convection fan and a temperature of about 300 degrees actually. Once it was just about ready, I kicked it right back down to 200. What we are trying to achieve is an internal temperature of about a 150 to 155 degrees to know that the chicken is completely done. If you feel safer taking it to 160 to 165, that's fine. Either way what we are trying to make sure of is that there is no blood coming out of this guy. So it's a done deal and this is the finished product. Again, I've got an insert pan here that is slotted so this chicken was able to drain and I've got a solid pan underneath and we showed you in a separate video that if you don't have one of these units, you can just a sheet pan with a cooling rack on top of it and after finish your chicken inside your regular oven. So this is the finished product and it's got a nice good golden texture to it and I hope you enjoy that.
