Hi,
I have been having a consistent problem when frying chicken in a skillet. I usually put about 1 1/2 cups of Crisco in a skillet and heat until its liquid. Then I add the breaded chicken
The first piece browns after a few minutes, but when I add the second & third pieces, they always burn. The oil burns the chicken outside before it gets a chance to cook the inside.
What am I doing wrong?

In my opinion I'd guess it could be one of two things... you have the oil to hot... try putting in the chicken with the burner turned down a little...
I had a frying pan.. nice pan and in good shape.. no matter what I cooked in it.. it burned the stuff.. I finally tossed it out...
Maybe some others have some ideas too..

... you put the first piece in when the oil is the right temperature but the oil is still heating up. Experiment with a cooking thermometer next time and get the oil temp to stabilize. Remember that when you drop in a piece of chicken the temperature will drop but will warm back up to that 'stabilized' temperature after a short time. If I remember right, a good target temp is about 375 degF. I could expand on this but then you'd know I'm a physics geek at heart.
Side note: I always fry chicken in enough oil for the chicken to submerge. This helps stabilize the temp and when a piece of chicken is done it will float to the surface.
