Judy asked me to send her a copy of the chicken coating mix from the
"More-With-Less Cookbook." Okay, I will. I also forgot to mention that
the cookbook can be purchased at or ordered through any
Christian/Religious bookstore.

Ruth's notes: I use celery seed and onion powder in place of the
flavored salts mentioned above. It is plenty salty without them. I mix
the salt and spices in my blender before adding them to the breadcrumbs
in an attempt to grind the celery seed. I use this on skinless chicken
and it works just fine, and I don't usually grease the baking pan,
either.
My family's favorite chicken.
