1 frying chicken (3 to 3 1/4 lbs.), cut up
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk
1 c. instant potato flakes
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. butter
Celery leaves and thinly sliced for garnish

Wash chicken pieces and pat dry. Set aside. Beat egg and milk in bowl. In another bowl, mix potato flakes, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Roll chicken first in egg mix, then in the potato flakes mixture. Melt butter in shallow baking pan. Roll coated chicken pieces in the butter and place them, skin side up, in the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until juices from thighs run clear when pierced with a fork. Transfer to serving platter; garnish with celery leaves and celery slices. Serve.

Tips: For a guest meal, you may substitute 6 to 8 chicken breast for the whole chicken. Recipe may be halved or doubled.
