Oven-Fried Chicken(Serves 4 To 5.) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. (2/3 stick) butter
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic salt (optional)
1 tsp. dried marjoram
8 to 9 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts)

Preparation

Place the oil and butter in a shallow cooking pan (jelly roll); put in a preheated 375\u00b0 oven to melt.
Set aside.
In a large paper sack, combine the flour and seasonings.
Roll the chicken pieces, 3 pieces 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 the top crust begins to bubble.
Serve hot or cold, but the crust texture is better if chicken is not refrigerated before eating.
