HELP - fried chicken

[tiggerlover]

I am making fried chicken for the first time and need to know how long to cook it in the oil. I marinated the pieces (legs, breasts and thighs) all day and have coated them in flour and I am now cooking them in the oil. Only problem is I don't know how long to cook them... Help!

The key to good fried chicken is to not overturn it. Try to leave it for about 10 minutes on each side, this allows the "fry" part to build up. then be gentle when you do turn it.
