Set out two shallow dishes – one with the eggs and milk whisked together, the other with the flour, paprika, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper mixed together.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then dredge through the flour mixture to coat. Repeat both steps for a double-dredge coating.
Let the battered chicken rest for 15 to 30 minutes to help the coating set.
Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or deep pot to 325°F. Carefully add chicken in batches and fry for 15–18 minutes, until crispy and cooked through.
Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack and season immediately with extra salt and pepper if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy that crispy Southern bite!
Notes
Letting the chicken rest after dredging helps the batter stick better and makes for a crispier crust. Adjust seasonings based on your spice preference.
