Ingredients
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 8 to 9 chicken pieces, legs, thighs, breasts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the oil and butter in a shallow cooking pan (a jelly-roll pan is perfect) and put in oven to melt. Set aside.
- In a large paper sack, combine the flour and seasonings. Roll the chicken pieces, 3 at a time, in the melted oil-butter mixture, then drop them in the sack and shake to cover.
- Place on a dish or wax paper. Place chicken in the pan, skin side down. Bake for 45 minutes.
- With a spatula, turn over and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until top crust begins to bubble.
- Serve hot or cold, but the crust texture is better if chicken is not refrigerated before eating.
