St. Michael's Church's Fried Chicken

"Angel Food," St. Michael�s Episcopal Church in Brigham City, Utah
List of Ingredients
This home-style chicken, which is both fried and baked, is responsible for the success of countless fund raisers at St. Michael�s. The technique of soaking the chicken in salt water and then marinating it in buttermilk makes each piece juicy and flavorful.Recipe
Place chicken in an extra-large bowl. Cover with lightly salted water. Cover and chill in the
refrigerator for 3 hours. Drain. Place chicken pieces in a self-sealing plastic bag set in a large
bowl. Pour buttermilk over chicken. Close bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours
or overnight. Drain chicken, discarding the buttermilk.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic salt, and paprika. Generously coat the chicken pieces
with the flour mixture. Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces, half at a time, in
the hot oil for 2 to 4 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Transfer browned chicken pieces to a
3-quart rectangular baking dish.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (an
instant-read thermometer inserted into chicken breast pieces needs to register 170 degrees F and
inserted into chicken thighs and legs needs to register 180 degrees F). Makes 6 to 8 servings.
