Chicken Wunderbar
Mrs. Ann Hunt

1 3-pound broiler or fryer, cut in frying pieces
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
2 Tablespoons beer of lemon-lime carbonated drink ( I used Sprite)
1 1/2 cup pretzel crumbs ( about 2 dozen twist-type) ground very fine ( I used honey - wheat flavor)
1 1/2 cups oil ( enough to measure 1 inch in pan)

Coat chicken with flour by shaking a few pieces at a time in paper bag. combine egg and beer or lemon-lime soda and beat lightly. Dip floured chicken into this mixture , then roll each in pretzel crumbs, coating it well. Chill 1/2 hour in freezer before frying. Heat oil in heavy frying pan. Place large pieces of chicken in center of pan, skin down. Place smaller pieces at sides. Brown 25 minutes, turning frequently without piercing chicken. cover pan, reduce heat and cook slowly 30 minutes. Uncover, turn skin side up and cook about 10 minutes. Serves 4.
