3. Rinse chicken and drain on a cutting board, but do not pat dry.
4. In a large paper sack, combine flour, cracker crumbs, cornmeal and spices and seasonings.
5. Roll chicken pieces 3 at a time in melted butter/oil in pan, then drop in the paper sack and shake to coat pieces.
6. Place on a plate and continue with the rest of the chicken.
7. Place coated chicken in 11x14-inch pan, skin side down.
