What kind of paprika should be used for fried chicken?

For fried chicken, you'll want to use sweet paprika.

Here's why:

* Sweet paprika has a milder, sweeter flavor that complements the fried chicken without being overpowering.

* Hot paprika can be too spicy for fried chicken and may mask the other flavors.

Note: You can also use a combination of sweet and hot paprika to add a bit of heat, but start with a small amount of hot paprika and adjust to your taste.

Enjoy your delicious fried chicken!
