A delightful twist on classic fried chicken, offering a crispy and flavorful experience.
Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed in the flour for consistent flavor.
Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to help it adhere better.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 365°F.
Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for optimal frying.
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through for even cooking.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its crispiness.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
