KITTENCAL'S CRISPY COATING MIX FOR MOIST OVEN BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash chicken pieces in cold water (leave the chicken moist so the coating will hold on to it) set aside.
• In the plastic mixing bag that comes with the coating mix, combine all ingredients (except the chicken pieces) and shake bag to combine thoroughly.
• Set oven to 425°F.
• Set oven rack to lowest-bottom position.
• Line a large 15-inch baking sheet with foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Shake each piece of chicken in the bag to coat thoroughly with mixture and place on the baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
• Bake for 45 minutes (you might have to bake for about 5 minutes more if the backs are attached to the legs).
• *NOTE* Sometimes if you are using frozen defrosted chicken there might still be some water left in the chicken that will come out when baking, if you find that there is a lot of water in your pan about halfway through baking, just carefully remove the pan with a towel or oven mitts and hold over the sink to drain the water, and place back in the oven to bake (just enough to drain, careful not to remove the chicken from the pan and throw into the sink!).
• The less water in the bottom of the pan the crispier you chicken will be).

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
• Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
