crinkle cut fries

🥗Healthier: sweet potato fries

Sweet potato fries are a healthier option.

Season the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of bread flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour with the same seasonings used for the chicken.

Tuck the chicken wings and small drumsticks into the seasoned flour mixture.

Heat the oil until it starts to fry; check by dropping a piece of chicken in to see if it sinks or floats.

Shake off excess flour from the chicken before frying to prevent burning.

Fry the chicken in batches for about 15 minutes, checking for doneness.

Prepare crinkle cut fries by frying until they float, indicating they are ready.
