#357 - Crispy Crumb Fried Chicken

(by Shirley McNevich)

2/3 cup finely crushed herb seasoned stuffing mix (place in Ziploc bag bag and use rolling pin to crush)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
3lb. chicken pieces (your choice of white, dark or both)
canola oil for frying
1/2 cup milk

Combine crushed stuffing mix, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl--stir and mix well. Put milk in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken piece in the milk, then in the crushed stuffing mixture. Use medium heat on stove and a heavy iron skillet with canola oil OR medium heat on an electric skillet with canola oil--place chicken pieces in your choice of skillet. Fry and brown bottoms, then turn pieces over and fry on other side. Once browned on both sides, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook chicken for 30 minutes total or until tender, turning a few times while cooking.
