Directions:Separate chicken pieces and trim visible fat. Pat dry. Place in a container or plastic bag and add buttermilk. Seal bag or cover container and soak overnight (no less than 4-6 hours) in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and preheat oil in deep frying pan or skillet.
Place eggs in shallow bowl and flour in a separate bowl for dredging. Season flour with salt and pepper. Add dash of paprika, if desired.
Remove chicken from buttermilk, one piece in a time. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Do not pat dry.
Dredge chicken in seasoned flour, then egg, then the flour again. Add chicken to preheated oil in frying pan and fry chicken on each side about 2-4 minutes or until coating is golden brown. Repeat with remaining chicken, being sure to not crowd the pan.
When coating is golden brown, remove from pan and set on paper towels. Lightly pat oil off coating, transfer chicken to a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through and internal temperature of thickest part of chicken is 165 degrees. |
