Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken




6 cups vegetable oil or olive oil, for frying
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
3 eggs
1 frying chicken with skin, cut into pieces

Heat oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a deep cast iron skillet on the stove.

Combine the flour, salt, peppers and paprika in a bowl.

Break eggs into another bowl, and beat until well blended.

Check temperature of oil by dropping a pinch of the flour mixture into pan. If the bubbles rapidly around the flour, it will be the right temperature.

Dip each piece of chicken into eggs; then coat generously with the flour mixture. Drop each piece into the hot oil and fry for 15 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is a dark golden brown.

Drain chicken on paper towels and serve warm.
