Instructions

  1. Put the chicken in a large bowl.
  2. Mix the salt, pepper and paprika. Sprinkle 5 teaspoons of this mixture over the chicken and keep the last teaspoon for the coating.
  3. Cover and let the chicken rest for one hour at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours. If refrigerated, leave it covered on the counter for 30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Beat the egg in a small bowl with the yogurt, water and Tabasco.
  5. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, cayenne and the reserved teaspoon of seasoning.
  6. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, let the excess drip off, then roll it in the flour and tap off the excess.
  7. Heat the oil to 350°F (about 177°C), keeping it between 350 and 365°F.
  8. Fry the chicken, turning once: wings for 10 minutes in total, all other pieces for 12 minutes in total.
  9. Fry in two batches so the pan is not crowded.
  10. Let the chicken cool for 10 minutes before eating hot, or cool completely and refrigerate to eat cold the next day.
