Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, add eggs and buttermilk; whisk to combine; set aside.
In a large bowl, add flour, salt, pepper and paprika; stir to combine. Add the crushed crackers; stir to combine.
In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, add enough oil so it is 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350 degrees or until a dash of water sizzles. If you have bacon fat/grease, add it now (for extra flavorful fried chicken).
Lightly coat the first piece of chicken in the flour mixture. Dip the chicken in the egg/ buttermilk mixture. Coat the chicken again in the flour mixture; add immediately to the hot oil. Quickly repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Cook the first side until crispy and golden, then flip and fry the other side until golden brown. Remove; drain on paper towels.
Serve.
4 servings.
