| 3 | pounds | chicken | fryer parts |
| Seasoning paste | |||
| 2 | packages | salad dressing mix, italian | mix |
| 3 | tablespoons | flour, all-purpose | |
| 2 | teaspoons | salt | |
| 1/4 | cup | lemon juice | |
| 2 | tablespoons | margarine | |
| Coating mix | |||
| 2 | cups | milk | club soda or beer |
| 1 | x | pancake mix | dry |
| 1 1/2 | pints | vegetable oil | for frying |
Begin with about 3 lbs fryer parts.
Cut the breast pieces in half.
Fries much quicker when pieces are small.
Combine Seasoning Paste ingredients (dressing mix, flour, salt, lemon or vinegar, and margarine or oil) .
Spread this paste evenly over chicken pieces.
Stack in a bowl; cover and refrigerate at least two hours or better yet, overnight.
About 1 hour before serving, heat about 1 1/2 pints cooking oil in a heavy saucepan ( 9 inches in diameter,with the depth of oil of about 3 inches) to a temperature of 425 degrees F.
Using an electric deep fryer I would have the temperature at about 400 degrees F.
Put about 2 cups milk or club soda or beer in a deep, narrow bowl and dip each piece chicken in the liquid, letter the excess drip off.
Dust lightly but evenly in pancake mix.
DO NOT OVERCOAT!!!
Dry pieces a few minutes without letting them touch each other.
Fry a few pieces at a time.
Place on a cookie sheet without letting them touch each other and bake at 350 degrees F uncovered for 30 minutes.

Great recreation of the incredible Rubio's Fish Taco. Most people get this wrong, but not this one. The CORN tortilla is vital to the flavor. Get them as fresh and thick as possible. Another vital element is the hot sauce. It's very easy to make and will kick up the flavor a bunch.
