Ingredients:

3 cup Self-rising flour

1 cup Cornstarch

3 tbs Seasoned salt

2 tbs Paprika

1 ts Baking soda

1 pk Italian Salad Dressing Mix Powder

1 pk Onion Soup Mix -- (1 1/2 Ounces)

2 Eggs -- well beaten

1/4 cup Cold water

4 lb Chicken -- cut up


Directions:

Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl. Put the cornflakes into another bowl. Put eggs and water in a 3rd bowl. Put enough corn oil into a heavy roomy skillet to fill it 1" deep. Get it HOT! Grease a 9x12x2 baking pan. Set it aside. Preheat oven to 350~.

Dip chicken pieces 1 piece at a time as follows: 1-Into dry coating mix. 2-Into egg and water mix. 3-Into corn flakes. 4-Briskly but briefly back into dry mix. 5-Drop into hot oil, skin-side-down and brown 3 to 4 minutes on medium high. Turn and brown other side of each piece. Don't crowd pieces during frying.

Place in prepared pan in single layer, skin-side-up. Seal in foil, on 3 sides only, leaving 1 side loose for steam to escape. Bake at 350~ for 35-40 minutes removing foil then to test tenderness of chicken. Allow to bake uncovered 5 - 8 minutes longer to crisp the coating.
