Preparation

Place chicken pieces and milk in bowl. Marinate for 5 hours in refrigerator. In other bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika and Cayenne pepper. Dredge chicken pieces with flour mixture and shake off excess.

Heat oil in a deep pot or deep-fryer to 375 °F (190 °C). Fry the chicken pieces in several batches, without crowding the pan, until golden brown about 10 minutes. Remove chicken pieces from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season once more, if desired. Set aside and keep warm.

Serve with chili sauce or favourite sauce.
