• shortening or vegetable oil

Directions

Salt fryer pieces and put in refrigerator several hours or overnight. Mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika in paper bag. Dip chicken pieces in cream and shake in bag, a few pieces at a time, to coat well. Add enough shortening or oil to a large heavy skillet to make 1 inch depth when melted. Heat to 360 degrees F or until a drop of water sizzles and bubbles. Slowly put chicken pieces in grease; turn when brown. When both sides are brown, reduce heat and cover. Cook until fork tender.
