- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 cups frozen french fries
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, pour the 1 cup buttermilk over the 8 chicken pieces. Turn to coat, then let sit for 10 minutes while you prep.

In a shallow dish, whisk the 1 cup flour with the 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles, about 5 minutes.

Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Shake off excess.

Fry the chicken in batches, skin-side down, without crowding. Cook until golden brown and cooked through (165°F), about 12-15 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, bake the 4 cups frozen fries according to package directions, until crispy and golden, about 20-25 minutes.
