1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1 teaspoon parsley chopped fresh
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon sage (optional)
1/4 teaspoon tarragon crushed (optional)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk or half-and-half
1/2 to 1 cup vegetable oil
1 broiler-fryer chicken 3 1/2 -pound, cut up
Heat oven to 350° F. In a shallow bowl or large plastic bag combine flour, salt, pepper, parsley, and optional onion and garlic powders, sage and tarragon. In a bowl combine eggs and milk or half-and-half. Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet. Pat chicken pieces dry. Dip each chicken piece in flour mixture or toss in bag until each is completely coated. Next dip each piece into egg mixture to coat completely and then into flour mixture again. Place coated pieces in skillet and fry until lightly browned on all sides. Place in a covered 3-quart baking dish or skillet. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 15 minutes more.
Note: This recipe can be easily tripled, quadrupled, or multiplied as many times as needed to feed large groups of people without the bother of standing over a frying skillet for hours on end. Your oven does most of the work!
