Big Mama's Fried Chicken - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  1-2 hrs

ingredients

2 whole chickens, cut into breasts, legs, wings, and thighs
4 large eggs
1/4 cup water
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
5 cups shortening

directions

Rinse the chicken, and pat dry.

In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and the water. Combine the flour, salt, paprika, and pepper in a bag, and set aside.

Heat the shortening in a large deep skillet until it is hot, but not smoking. If you're using an electric skillet, heat it to 400 degrees F.

Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, and then place in the bag with the flour, and shake to coat. Let stand for 4 or 5 minutes.

Fry three to five pieces of chicken at a time for about 15 minutes, until they are browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
