Fried Chicken Recipe

This is a great fried chicken recipe. I love it because it is not dripping in grease! Who wants to eat greasy fried chicken any way? Not to say fried foods are healthy, but every so often, I crave fried foods. My motto is, as long as it is in moderation, then it is OK to splurge every so often. The spices I use is subtle, yet it has a distinct taste in comparison to other fried chicken recipes. I hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients
*8 Chicken pieces, drumsticks or thighs.
*1-2 C. Flour
*2 Eggs
*Vegetable Oil
*4 T. Paprika
*1 1/2 t. Salt
*1 1/2 t. Pepper
Preparation
*Wash/ clean the chicken; pat dry with a paper towel. *In a bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs. Add the paprika, salt, and pepper. *In a plate, place 2 cups of flour. *Pour vegetable oil (I prefer Wesson) about 1 inch deep in a pan. *While you are waiting for the oil to be ready, you will start prepping the chicken. *One at a time dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then in the flour. *Place in the hot oil. *Cook for about 15 minutes or until done. Depending on the size of the chicken, it may take less or more time than indicated. *On a plate, place a couple of paper towels on it. As the chicken is removed from the oil, place the chicken on the paper towels (This will soak up the extra grease). *To keep warm, use tin foil but "tent it" so it won't trap the moisture in and soften the crisp fried chicken.
