Step-by-Step Method
Mix the coating
In a wide bowl, stir together cornmeal, paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cumin until evenly combined.
Prep the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. If any pieces are thick, gently pound to an even thickness so they cook at the same rate.
Coat well
Press each piece into the seasoned cornmeal mixture, coating all sides. Shake off any loose excess so it fries cleanly.
Heat the oil
Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want it hot but not smoking; a pinch of coating should sizzle on contact.
Fry in batches
Lay the chicken in a single layer. Cook, turning as needed, until golden on the outside and cooked through; avoid crowding the pan.
Drain and rest
Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and let rest 3–5 minutes. This helps the crust stay crisp while juices settle.
Serve
Serve hot. A squeeze of lemon, a simple salad, or a yogurt-based sauce works nicely on the side.
