| 8 | About 1 hour before serving, heat about 1 ?pints cooking oil in a heavy saucepan ( 9 inches in diameter,with the depth of oil of about 3 inches) to a temperature of 425 degrees. |
| 9 | i prefer my oster super cooker, but using an electric deep fryer i would have the temperature at about 400 degrees. |
| 10 | Put about 2 cups milk or club soda or beer in a deep, narrow bowl & dip each piece chicken in the liquid, letter the excess drip off. |
| 11 | Dust lightly but evenly in aunt jemima pancake flour ( or a good brand ).do not overcoat!!! dry pieces a few minutes without letting them touch each other. |

| 13 | Place on a cookie sheet without letting them touch each other and bake at 350f uncovered for 30 minutes. |
| 14 | Serves 6-8 persons. |
| 15 | i encourage you to experiment with amount of salad dressing mix according to your own taste preferences, but much of it washes off in the milk so 2 packages are at least needed. |
