My friend served this dish for Sunday lunch after mass while I was still in graduate school in Florida. It came out of the oven hot and golden brown and juicy and crunchy and just oh so good. I just loved it and I had to investigate how she made this dish and after knowing how simple it was, this is how I make fried chicken now. Over the years, I've learned to add some herbs to the coating mix to enhance its flavor although there is really no need for it. It does add a sense of je ne sais quoi to the dish and my favored choice is Herbes de Provence.

skin on
salt and pepper
1/3 cup flour
Herbes de Provence
1. Thaw the chicken and
pat dry. Season with
salt and pepper on
both sides.
2. In a pie plate, mix the
flour with about 1/2tsp
salt and a few turns of
black pepper. Add 1/2 tsp Herbes de Provence and mix well.
3. Coat the chicken pieces with the flour mix and lay flat (skin side up) on a
lined baking sheet.
4. Bake the chicken on a preheated oven at 375°F for about an hour or until
the skin is crispy. Halfway through, baste the skin with the juices on the
pan.
5. You can also sprinkle additional Herbes de Provence to the chicken pieces
10 minutes prior to it being done.
