LOVED IT! I'd never used self-rising flour for the breading before and it worked perfectly. I used Homemade Self-Rising Flour - Substitute for the self-rising flour but cut the salt in half on that recipe. For this recipe I made it exactly as directed and it was quite delicious. Thank you for posting Shapeweaver, this makes a yummy quick weekday meal. Made for Comfort Food tag in the Photo Forum, please see my rating system.
