Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 to 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons oil for frying

For the Coating:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all the coating ingredients and place in a clean plastic bag. Dip each piece into beaten egg, then into the flour mixture in the bag. Coat the chicken completely with the flour mixture.
  • Place the oil in a skillet and heat. Brown the chicken in oil slowly (225ºF if you are using an electric skillet), uncovered. Cover the skillet and continue to fry at a very low heat until the chicken is fully cooked, approximately 30 minutes. Check for doneness before removing the chicken from the skillet. It may need longer to cook on slow heat.
  • Drain well on paper towels.
