The Big Bucket in the Sky Fried Chicken

Cut a 3# fryer into 9 pieces and discard the back portion. Make smooth
paste of the following ingredients to use as a marinade:
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
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.

uses lots of spices.
Good Luck.
