Yes, we're adding a liquid marinade to the fried chicken after it cooks but this should make the chicken soggy if it's cooked properly. If your chicken is soggy after cooking the most likely culprit is that your oil wasn't hot enough or you didn't drain it properly. Be sure to check the temperature of your oil before adding the chicken with a thermometer or a sprinkle of flour -- if it sizzles up the oil is ready. Also, don't overcrowd the chicken in the pan. Too many pieces of chicken will cause the temperature of the oil to drop. After cooking be sure to give the chicken time to drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Those tips are the best way to keep your chicken crispy.
