ZIPPY'S FRIED CHICKEN

Zippy's Fried Chicken image

I found this recipe on the KaukauTime blog. I haven't tried it yet, but wanted to save it since I miss the taste of Zippy's! Note: The secret of Zippy's Crispy Fried Chicken is the paprika and flour. The paprika and flour will make the chicken crispy without it being overly battered. Adding a bit of cornstarch will make it even more crispier if you prefer it this way. The more paprika you add will also make the chicken darker.

Ingredients

1 (3 -4 lb) fresh whole broiler-fryer chickens

Steps:

In another mixing bowl add dry ingredients such as flour, garlic powder, paprika, white/black pepper, and MSG.
Mix with wire whisk or blend in a blender to remove flour lumps.
Add drained chicken pieces to mixing bowl of dry ingredients.
Dredge chicken parts well to make sure it covers the whole piece.
