My mom made the BEST fried chicken in the world and this is very similar to how she did it. Only difference being the sesame seed.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 lb. butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
• paprika, to taste
• 1 frying chicken, cut up

Directions:

Melt butter in oven-safe frying pan. Combine egg and milk. Mix dry ingredients in a separate pan. Dip chicken into milk mixture, then into flour. Place in the frying pan with the butter, and bake at 400 degrees F for 1/2 hour, then turn and bake 1/2 hour more. Does not need to be covered.

Recipe: Best Fried Chicken

The best fried chicken ever. Skin chicken and leave to soak in cold water for 2 hours before frying. Take directly from water and coat with self rising flour. Season with coarse ground garlic salt. Fry in enough hot oil to almost cover chicken. So good you won't be able to sit still while eating!

Recipe: Robin's Fried Chicken

I prefer fresh farm-grown chicken about 2 1/2 - 3 lbs., cleaned and sectioned.

Place chicken in a large mixing bowl and cover with top grade buttermilk. Let soak several hours to overnight. Carefully drain before dipping in flour that has been seasoned with favorite spices, salt, and pepper. Re-dip in batter, then back into flour. Place in prepared skillet.

A heavy skillet is the best to use for frying chicken. I fry my chicken at 350-360 degrees F. We like our chicken more done than some people, so I will lower temperature when sufficiently browned and cook about 30 minutes all together.

RE: Oven Fried Chicken

In any of the recipes you can substitute oat bran, wheat bran or crushed all-bran cereals as part of or fully replacing the unhealthy white bread crumbs. Even more thrifty is to use the natural crumbs you'll find on the bottom of your non-sugar cereal bags. Regardless of what you mix together from the cereals, they should be much higher fiber than white bread crumbs unless you have very unhealthy cereals in your cupboards. If you're die hard on bread crumbs; it's easy to make your own out of whole grain, high fiber breads. Just dry out in oven on super low setting and crush in a bag until you have the desired crumbs. You don't have to change anything else in the recipes....same seasonings, etc. If you're going for even healthier foods; you can substitute rice bran oil for any of the "fry" oils. It's pretty high nutrition and tolerates very high temps. You won't notice any difference in taste except that the rice oil tastes much lighter to me than canola or corn oils. You'll get an even crunchier oven fry out of it plus better nutrition! (08/26/2008)
