Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour and spices.
- Dust both sides of the chicken with the flour mixture.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the pan skin side up. Fry for 4-5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, putting the skin side down.
- Cover the skillet and continue frying the meat. I found that this helps the meat cook evenly, faster and still retains the crispy skin. Cook another 4-5 minutes. Temp the legs and wings, if they are done, remove them from the pan and continue cooking the breast and thigh until it reaches 165 degrees.
- Let the chicken rest on a plate or platter 5-10 minutes to seal in the juices before serving.
