Fried Chicken

• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• Egg yolks for dipping
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
2. In a Ziploc bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken into egg yolk batter, then back in the Ziploc bag to create a thick outside crust.
3. Shake two chicken pieces in the bag to coat, and place them in the skillet. Repeat until all of the chicken is coated and in the skillet.
4. Fry the chicken over medium-high heat until all of the pieces have been browned on both sides. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the lid, and increase heat to medium-high. Continue frying until chicken pieces are a deep golden brown, and the juices run clear.
