Mix salt, paprika, black and red peppers together in flat dish. Coat chicken pieces with mixture. Dip in flour. Heat oil fairly hot in frying pan. Place chicken *skin side* down in oil. Sear.

Until juices are mostly absorbed and solids are limp. Add wine. Cook about 3 minutes over fairly high heat, scrapping bottom of pan of brown bits.

Simmer. Cook 10 - 15 minutes until chicken is done. Add oil from dish that chicken was "stored" on.

Parsley can be added to mixture 5 minutes from finish or served garnished.

Sauce can also be served on the side in a gravy boat.

Remove the chicken to serving platter. Sauce may be returned to heat to reduce and thicken if you like (5 - 10 minutes). Pour sauce over chicken.

Excellent with sour cream chives mashed potatoes.
