ZIPPY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN


1 chicken, cut in serving pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1 GENEROUS teaspoon Tabasco
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Place chicken in a large bowl. Sprinkle with Tabasco. Pour buttermilk over
all and allow to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425oF.
Place 1/2 inch of oil in the bottom of a heavy baking pan large enough to
hold chicken without crowding. Place pan in oven to heat for 10 minutes.

In a plastic bag combine remaining ingredients. Shake chicken in this mix to coat.
Remove pieces one at a time and quickly slip into hot oil. Loosely cover with foil and place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through.
Drain chicken on crumpled paper towels.
