To help dry the chicken, place it on a plate lined with paper towel and another paper towel on top.

8

In a cast iron skillet, heat oil on stove on medium high heat until 275 degrees.

9

While oil is warming, crush the crackers in a bowl and mix in flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.

In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs.

11

Dip the chicken into the egg and then roll evenly into cracker mixture.

Place a few pieces of chicken into the pan and cook for 4-8 minutes or until the bottom is golden. If using drumsticks, you'll want to cook for about ~10 minutes on each side.

Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.

After chicken is cooked, place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
