- Fry the chicken in batches to keep the oil temperature steady and achieve crispy results.
- Make the slaw ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Warm the tortillas before assembling for better flexibility.
- Store leftovers in separate airtight containers and reheat the chicken in the oven to keep them crispy.
