A little bird just tought me a lesson in Karma I wont soon forget.

thanks.

I make a pretty good fried chicken. My trick is frying it until it is golden brown on both sides, and then baking it for another 25-30 mins at 350. It seals in the juices.

My "secret" ingredient is nutmeg.

I use 4-6 skinless chicken breasts instead of bone-in chicken, but you can use leg quarters with skin or whatever cut of chicken you prefer. It all comes out the same.

Preheat your oven to 350.

1. Crack a couple of eggs into a bowl and beat them mercilessly.

2. In a gallon ziploc bag, add the following:

1/2 cup progresso breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour (white or wheat, doesn't matter)
1 tbsp. paprika
1 tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sage

3. Get your oil hot. I use good old-fashioned artery-clogging vegetable oil. I use a deep 12" non-stick frying pan. There is no need to use a pot, because you don't have to submerge the chicken entirely.

4. Dip your chicken in the egg, and then shake it up in the seasoning bag.

5. Fry until golden brown on both sides. When you start to see juice appear, that's when you know to flip it.

6. Put the chicken in a large baking dish (try to lay it all out flat, but if it overlaps, that's okay.) Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.

That sounds Sticky-lickin' good!!!!
