Fried Chicken
3 lb fryer 2 packages (0.6 oz each) Italian Salad Dressing Mix powder 3 T. flour 2 t. salt 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 T. oil
Cut a fryer into 9 pieces and discard the back portion. Make smooth paste of the flour, salt, lemon juice and oil to use as a marinade.
Spred mixture evenly over each piece of the cut-up fryer and stack pieces in a bowl. Cover it and keep refrigerated about an hour (longer or overnight for a strong flavor). Heat 1 1/2 pints oil in heavy 3 quart saucepan or use automatic deep fryer--either method, kep the temperature of the oil at 400!-425! because the chicken will be greasy if the oil is not hot enough.
Dip each piece of the chicken into a bowl containing about 2 cups of Club Soda (or beer) and then lightly dust in boxed pancake flour or self-rising flour. Shake off the excess. Don't overcoat or coating may break off while frying. Also keep oil temperature in check.
Fry a few pieces at a time for 4-6 minutes or until coating is golden brown. Put enough water in a shallow open pan to fill it 1/4" to 1/2" deep and place browned chicken, skin-side-up, breast pieces in first as the bone structure will lift the chicken pieces up out of the liquid and bake at 350! for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is tender. While chicken is baking, sprinkle each piece with a little of the pancake flour and a few drops of water and a spoonful of drippings drizzle over that, for a crispier coating. For a more moist, cover pan with ktichen foil during last 10 minutes of baking time.
Serves six.
