Oven Fried Chicken; how to?
I want to try some oven fried chicken in our Le Creuset. I've never done it so would appreciate any tips.

Classic oven fried chicken:
* Preheat oven to 425.
* While preheating, take a heavy pan (a 9x13 Pyrex is great).
* Add a stick of butter and a bit of oil to mix to the pan.
* Let the pan preheat with the oven.
* Coat pieces of chicken in seasoned flour (ie salted to taste).
(paprika, some poultry seasoning, etc. add a lot here!)
* When the oven is heated, place the chicken pieces in the pan carefully, skin side down.
* Bake 20 minutes.
* Turn over the chicken.
* Bake another 20 min.
* Let rest for about 10 min.
* Eat.
Applied to a dutch oven, I would make the lid be slightly open to prevent steaming it. Most of the remaining steps should be the same. This is a hot oven process, not 350 degrees.
