Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds) , cut up
1/4 cup canola oil

3/4 cup water
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 jar (6 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.

Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a platter. Add tomato paste and mushrooms to pan juices; cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Add hot pepper sauce and chicken; heat through. Yield: 6 servings.
