The herbs that are rubbed on the chicken form a lovely herb crust. Adding the flour gives the skins small amount of crunch.
Marinating the chicken over night really allows the chicken to absorb a lot of the herb flavor.
Unfortunately, the chicken does not come out very crispy.
I think when you see the word fried in anything, you expect a bit of a crunch. Pouring the marinade over top of the chicken removes the crispiness.
Don’t get me wrong, it still tastes good. Actually it is quite enjoyable.
