  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Liberally coat chicken pieces with Creole seasoning.
  • Place 6 to 7 pieces chicken at a time into the hot oil. Cook until skin turns light brown and pieces float, 9 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain on paper towels before transferring to a baking sheet. Repeat to fry remaining batches.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
