Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1 frying chicken, with skin cut up
• 6 cups vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 eggs

Recipe

• 1 heat the oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a wide, deep pan on stove.
• 2 in a large bowl, combine flour, salt, peppers, and paprika.
• 3 break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat until blended.
• 4 check the oil by dropping in a pinch of the flour mixture, if the oil bubbles rapidly around the flour, it's ready.
• 5 dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then coat generously with the flour mixture.
• 6 once the chicken is coated, it should be placed on a rack to allow the pieces to dry, which may take 20 to 30 minutes. allowing the pieces to dry will provide for more even browning of the chicken.
• 7 to fry, heat oil in a heavy skillet over a medium-high burner until the oil is very hot. place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, skin side down, one piece at a time. leave enough space between pieces so that they are not crowded. this allows the pieces to cook and brown more evenly.
• 8 continue to cook over a medium heat, turning until all sides are golden brown and the meat is cooked thoroughly.
• 9 as the pieces finish cooking, they should be removed from the pan and placed on a paper towel to allow grease to drain.
