Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons of oil
For the coating:
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
One tsp poultry seasoning (or powdered chicken stock)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon chives
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Directions:
Combine all the coating ingredients in a plastic bag and grind them finely using a mortar and pestle. Sift the flour and add it to the bag. Shake well to mix everything together.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in the bag with the flour mixture. Shake the bag to coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture.
In a skillet or frying pan, warm the oil over medium heat.
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying them slowly and uncovered until they are browned on all sides.
Once the chicken is browned, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking the chicken gently until it is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve and enjoy the homemade KFC-style fried chicken.
Note: Remember to exercise caution when frying chicken and handling hot oil. Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly to ensure it is safe to eat.
