Ingredients
  

  • Chicken 1.5 lbs: Go for wings, drumsticks, or thighs—bone-in works best for that juicy bite. Skin-on keeps it extra crispy!
  • All-Purpose Flour ½ cup: This coats the chicken for that golden crunch. Swap it with cornstarch if you want it lighter.
  • Paprika 1 tsp: Adds a smoky kick and a pop of color. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
  • Garlic Powder 1 tsp: Brings big flavor without the fuss. You’ll taste it in every bite.
  • Salt 1 tsp: Seasons everything just right. Adjust to your liking!
  • Black Pepper ½ tsp: Gives a little zing to balance the richness.
  • Cooking Spray: A quick spritz keeps it low-fat fried chicken without losing crispiness. Olive oil spray is my go-to.
