Description

This classic dish delivers crispy, golden-brown chicken pieces coated in a seasoned flour mixture. The key to success is ensuring the oil is hot enough and not overcrowding the pan. Serve with your favorite sides for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy coating.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, coating them thoroughly.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Note

Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165&# 194;°F (74ðC) for safety.

For extra crispy skin, let the coated chicken rest on a wire rack for 15 minutes before frying.

You can substitute vegetable oil with avocado oil or peanut oil for a higher smoke point.
