extra crispy
Fried chicken option
Extra crispy describes food fried or baked longer than standard, producing a darker, crunchier exterior: I'll take the extra crispy chicken.
The phrase became familiar through fast-food marketing.
Figuratively, it can mean severely sunburned or, in dark humor, badly burned: After six hours at the beach, I was extra crispy.
