1/3 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. butter
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. dried marjoram (optional)
8 or 9 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts)

Place oil and butter in a shallow cooking pan (a jelly roll pan is perfect) and put in a preheated 375 degree oven to melt. Set aside.

In a large paper sack, combine the flour and seasonings. Roll the chicken pieces, three at a time, in oil-butter mixture, then drop them in the sack and shake to coat. Place on a dish or wax paper.

Return chicken to pan, skin side down. Bake 45 minutes. With a spatula, turn and bake 5-10 minutes longer, or until top crust begins to bubble. Serve hot or cold.
