This was the first time I've done fried chicken. The recipe was great but I will say the Paprika adds a weird taste to it. Next time I will substitute the Paprika for something else. I don't know yet because I'm a brand new cook. I appreciated the video tutorial and loved the method.

This is the first time I've ever made fried chicken in my life, other that oven fried. I have always worried about chicken cooking through. The directions were spot on, and my chicken was done but not over done. I did have to wonder though what "until golden brown" meant. I just poked mine with a fork after a while to see if blood came out. I also turned it often. As the recipe had no measure of oil for the pan, I had to wonder how much to use. The video comes in handy for that, and also to show when the oil is hot enough. Unfortunately I read some of the other reviews that said this was bland, and over salted. Next time I will stick with the program. Because I'm gluten intolerant, I used rice flour. It worked GREAT! I gave it five stars because I think it is an awesome basic recipe that one can play with, AND after 40 years of cooking, I finally made fried chicken!!!!
