Extra-Crispy Fried Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs chicken parts
salt and black pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 -3 inches shortening
paprika

Preparation

Rinse and dry the chicken parts with paper towels.
Sprinkle the chicken parts generously with salt and pepper.
Whisk thoroughly in a medium bowl the 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk and the 1 t. salt.
Mix together on a plate: flour, 2 t. salt and 2 t. black pepper.
Heat the shortening in a deep, heavy pot or deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees.
Toss the breast meat pieces in the flour mixture and then moisten thoroughly in the egg mixture. Lift each piece out of the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off.
Roll in the flour mixture again until completely coated. Sprinkle each piece with paprika.
Then immerse into the hot oil. Fry for about 15 minutes or until cooked \"through,\" turning the pieces several times.
Remove the pieces to a baking sheet lined with brown paper bag or paper towels. Hold in a warm oven.
Repeat the process with the thighs and drumsticks, frying those pieces for about 20 minutes.
