"This was my first attempt at fried chicken, I was too afraid of smelling up the house with the oil, but it was a beautiful fall day and I had the windows open. I only had white wheat flour to use, and I doctored the flour (pakrika, cumin, chili powder) as my daughter requested. The meat was tasty, the coating had a little flour taste to it (I plan on trying different flours) but it was pretty good for my first try. I had no problems with smell, either!
