I like shake and bake.
Not the expensive store bought shake and bake, but cheap bread crumbs mixed with salt and lots of pepper and oregano and mustard powder and anything else I feel like throwing in there. Get a used grocery bag from the used grocery bag drawer (you DO save them, right?) and put the bread crumb mixture in there.
Preheat oven to 300-320. Take a bowl and whisk up an egg and a couple of cups of water. Cutup a chicken into 9 or 10 pieces, dunk in the water-egg and shake in the bag until well coated. Lay out on a big baking pan. I have one that has a grill so the fat drains off. Better than having the chicken sitting in a lake of fat! Frying is too much work!
While it's in the oven for an hour or so, boil up some new potatoes or lesser quality potatoes that you've peeled and can mash. Or, make KD. Teenagers can make KD while you go back to the Tilted forum on the computer. Put the timer on! Don't forget some niblets corn. Forget the gravy. Just put margarine and salt and pepper on the potatoes. The chicken is crispy and spicy. The teenagers love it!
