Gotta let the chicken sit with the flour on it. Hydrates the flour and it becomes one with the chicken.

Exactly. Don't just batter and drop in. And I fry at 325. Bring the grease to 360 and drop your pieces. Temp will drop to 315ish but settle on 325. Your fryer may be different though. I use a laser temp gun religiously.

I always add pieces until I can fit one more but I don't put it. Don't overcrowd you pot. It will kill your grease temp.
