Skillet Fried Chicken


Ingredients:

4 chicken thighs
4 chicken drumsticks
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Canola oil for frying

Preparation:

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil (about 1/4 inch coating the bottom) over medium high heat. Fry the chicken in the oil, skin side down, about 10 minutes or until it is light brown, then reduce the heat to low. Turn the chicken skin side up. Cook it uncovered about 20 minutes, without turning, until the juice of the chicken is clear when the thickest pieces are cut to the bone (at least 165 degrees F).

Serve with ears of fresh, local corn, watermelon slices complete a great summer meal.
