CHICKEN

3 cups Self-rising flour
1 cup Cornstarch
3 tablespoons Seasoned salt
2 tablespoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 package Italian Salad Dressing Mix -- Powder
1 1/2 ounces Pk Onion Soup Mix
1/2 ounce Pk spaghetti sauce mix
3 tablespoons Sugar
3 cups Corn flakes -- crush slightly
2 Eggs -- well beeaten
1/4 cup Cold water
4 pounds Chicken -- cut up
Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl. Put the cornflakes 
into another bowl.
Put eggs and water in a 3rd bowl. Put enough corn oil into a 
heavy roomy skillet to fill it 1" deep. Get it HOT! Grease a 
9x12x2 baking pan. Set it aside. Preheat oven to 350~.
Dip chicken pieces 1 piece at a time as follows:
1-Into dry coating mix. 2-Into egg and water mix.
3-Into corn flakes. 4-Briskly but briefly back into dry mix. 
5-Drop into hot oil, skin-side-down and brown 3 to 4 minutes 
on medium high. Turn and brown other side of each piece. Don't 
crowd pieces during frying.  Place in prepared pan in single 
layer, skin-side-up.  Seal in foil, on 3 sides only, leaving 1 
side loose for steam to escape.  Bake at 350~ for 35-40 
minutes removing foil then to test tenderness of chicken.
Allow to bake uncovered 5 minutes longer to crisp the coating. 
Serves 4.
Leftovers refrigerate well up to 4 days. Do not freeze these 
leftovers.
Leftover coating mix (1st 9 ingredients) can be stored at room 
temp in covered container up to 2 months. 

For the SPICY chicken, you need to dip the chicken into a
bowl or pan containing Tabasco sauce (or Trappeys or whichever 
brand you prefer)and egg mixed well together.   For a real 
extra kick, you could use Habanero sauce instead of the Tabasco
sauce.
