INGREDIENTS

• 2 broilers, split halves
• Ac'cent, salt, and pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup pancake mix
• 1/2 teaspoon Ac'cent
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• Fat or oil, for frying

DIRECTIONS

• Have broilers split in halves with necks and backbones removed. (Save them for creamy giblet gravy - search recipes.) Sprinkle with Ac'cent, salt, and pepper; let stand while preparing batter.
• Add milk to pancake mix slowly, to make smooth, thin batter. Stir in Ac'cent and beaten egg.
• Melt fat or add oil in Dutch oven to depth of about 3 inches. Heat to 375°F. Dip chicken halves in batter; lower one piece at a time carefully into hot oil. Fry about 3 minutes or until deep golden brown. Bring oil up to frying temperature after each portion is cooked. Repeat until all 4 halves are fried.
• Arrange chicken in a large shallow baking pan; add enough hot water to cover bottom of pan to depth of 1/4-inch. Bake in moderate oven (350°F.) 1 hour or until tender. Serve with creamy giblet gravy.
