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.
This really sounds delicious. Just be careful with the Pyrex pan. Supposedly they have changed the way they make it, and it can't take high heat anymore. It can explode in the oven.
