Recipe - Mama Zones Olive Oil-Fried Chicken

1 pound Chicken pieces
3 cup Allpurpose flour
1 tablespoon Salt; or to taste
1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
2 teaspoon Paprika
4 Eggs
3 cup Olive oil

Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes per batch

Rinse chicken pieces in cold water and pat dry with paper towels; set
aside. Combine flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a brown paper bag. Fold
down top and shake to mix ingredients. In a large bowl, beat the eggs well.

In a large castiron skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over mediumhigh
heat until it just begins to smoke, about 350 degrees. Dip chicken pieces,
one at a time, in the beaten eggs, then drop into the bag of flour mixture.
Fold down top and shake to coat. Shake off excess flour and place in hot
oil. Do not crowd. Cook in 2 or 3 batches, if necessary.

Lightly brown on one side, about 8 minutes, turn and cook until golden
brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn once again and cook 5 minutes or until golden
brown and juices run clear when pieces are pierced with a fork. Drain on
paper towels.
