Sunday Fried Chicken

looneytunesfan's Note:

Like most fried chicken recipes, the chicken parts are coated with a seasoned flour mixture and browned in oil. This recipe adds the convienent step of finishing the cooking in the oven. This gives the cook time to prepare the rest of the meal.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons dry mustard
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon celery salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 (2 1/2-3 1/2 lb) broiler-fryer chickens, cut up
• cooking oil

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients except chicken and oil. Place about 1 cup flour mixture in a paper or plastic bag. Shake a few chicken pieces in the bag at a time, coating well. On medium-high, heat 1/2 inches of oil in a large skillet. Brown chicken on all sides; remove to a large shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-60 minutes or until done. Recipe makes enough coating for three chickens. Store unused mixture in an airtight container.

I have never really made fried chicken before and this recipe made it so easy! I had to sub cornmeal for tamales in place of the regular cornmeal but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I ended up with moist chicken with a crunchy coating. Once the chicken was in the oven I had time to cook the carrots and shrooms. Thanks for sharing this easy way to prepare chicken Looneytunesfan!
