Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs and milk together.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few pieces of chicken into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispy skin, allow the coated chicken to rest for about 10-15 minutes before frying.
