Ingredients
- 2 (pound) chicken, cut into pieces
- 2/3 (cup) buttermilk
- 1 (cup) all-purpose flour for coating
- 1 (teaspoon) paprika
- 1/2 (teaspoon) salt and pepper to taste
- 1 vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
- Put the flour in a large plastic bag. Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray and set aside.
- Fill a large skillet about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until hot. Put in a few chicken pieces. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.
