1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 frying chicken, 3-4 lb., cut up
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. oil
1/2 c. half & half
Few sprigs parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp. dried marjoram leaves, crumbled

1. Mix flour, salt and black pepper in plastic or brown paper bag. Add a few chicken pieces at a time. Shake until well coated with the mixture.

2. Heat butter and oil in large skillet with cover. Add chicken and brown well on both sides. Drain fat.

3. Pour half & half into skillet. Add parsley and marjoram. Cover and cook over low heat for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is tender.
