A delightful twist on classic fried chicken, offering a crispy and flavorful experience.
Combine the flour, paprika, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, thyme, oregano, and tarragon in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.
Adding a splash of water to the eggs can make the coating lighter.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture.
Press the chicken into the flour mixture to ensure a thick coating.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature around 350°F for optimal frying.
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Place the fried chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the chicken gently with paper towels to remove any remaining oil.
Serve the crispy fried chicken warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.
