Uses pancake mix coating instead of flour!

Ingredients

1 cup Pancake mix

2 to 3 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Pepper

1/4 tsp Paprika

1 Broiler/fryer chicken (3-4 pounds), cut up

Oil for deep-fat frying

Preparation

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the pancake mix, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time; shake to coat. Heat 2 in. of oil in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer to 375. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for 6 minutes; turn and cook 6 minutes longer or until golden brown and juices run clear.

Cook's Notes

Note: If your deep-fat fryer doesn't have a temperature indicator, you can test if the oil has reached 375 by dropping in a cube of crustless white bread. It should be golden brown in about 40 seconds.
