Fried Chicken with French Fries and Ketchup

Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 4 potatoes into thin sticks and soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, mix 1 cup flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. In another dish, beat the 2 eggs.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Dip each of the 8 drumsticks into the egg, then coat in the flour mixture. Shake off excess and set aside.

5. 5

   Fry the chicken in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F), about 12-15 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   In the same oil, fry the potato sticks in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and sprinkle with salt.

7. 7

   Serve the fried chicken and fries hot with ketchup and mustard on the side.
