Kentucky Fried Chicken

3 pounds chicken parts, cut into small pieces
2 packages (six-tenths of an ounce) Italian salad dressing mix
3 tbsps. flour
2 tsps. salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsps. butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups pancake mix
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup milk
24 ounces vegetable oil for frying

  1. Wipe chicken dry. Combine salad dressing mix, flour, lemon juice, salt and butter into a paste and coat chicken evenly. Stack pieces in a bowl; cover and refrigerate for several hours.
  2. Combine pancake mix with spices. Dip chicken parts into milk and then into pancake mixture. Dust off excess.
  3. Heat oil in large skillet and fry pieces until lightly browned, about four minutes on each side. Place chicken in shallow pan and spoon any remaining milk over pieces. Seal with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Uncover and bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees to crisp chicken. Baste with milk again. Serves six to eight.
