INGREDIENTS:
1 2-1/2 to 3-pound frying chicken, cut up 2 teaspoons onion powder 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons seasoned salt 2 large onions, sliced thin
vegetable shortening 1/4 cup butter all-purpose flour



1 Wash chicken, pat dry, and set aside. Mix together the next 4 ingredients and use to season chicken. In a large nonreactive bowl, thoroughly combine chicken with thinly sliced onions. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In a large, heavy skillet, heat approximately 4 to 5 inches of shortening to approximately 375 degrees F. Add butter to the shortening. Discard onions and coat chicken with flour, shaking off the excess, and place in the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. Cook each side for approximately 15 minutes or until golden. Repeat as necessary. Test doneness by piercing thickest part of the chicken with a fork. When done, juices should run clear.
