Recipe By: Sylvia Woods (Sylvia's Restaurant in New York City)
1) Trim the excess fat and skin from each piece of chicken. Sprinkle the
pieces with salt and pepper. Stir the flour and paprika together in a
shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour to coat on
all sides. Shake off the excess flour. 2) Pour enough vegetable oil into a
heavy deep skillet (cast-iron is perfect) to fill it to 2 inches. Heat over
medium heat to 375oF. (A small cube of bread dropped in the dropped in the
oil will brown in about 20 seconds.) 3) Add only as many of the chicken
pieces as will fit without touching. Overcrowding will lower the
temperature of the oil and make your fried chicken greasy. With a
long-handled fork or tongs to prevent getting splattered, turn the chicken
pieces until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 6
minutes. The easiest way to tell if the chicken is cooked is to poke a fork
down to the bone near the thickest part - if the chicken is cooked the
juices will run clear, not pink. 4) Remove the chicken pieces from the
skillet to drain. If you have to fry the chicken in batches, keep the fried
chicken warm on a baking sheet in a 250F oven. When all the chicken is
fried, sprinkle the pieces with paprika and serve hot.
Serving Ideas : Potato Salad; Black-eyed peas; Collard Greens, etc.
NOTES : Crispy-skinned fried chicken, hot from the pan bursting with juice,
is one of the simplest and best-tasting soul food classics.
