1/2 c. cornmeal
1/4 c. cornstarch
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. rubbed sage

Directions:
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, salt, paprika, oregano, sage and pepper.  In a shallow bowl, beat eggs and water.  Dip chicken in egg mixture; place in the bag, a few pieces at a time, and shake until coated.

In an electric skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees.  Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.

Place on 2 ungreased baking pans.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is tender and the juices run clear.
