Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Use this batter to coat your chicken before frying.

Notes

Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that golden-brown crust. Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before frying to help the batter stick better. If there are leftover batter, it can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
