1 broiler-fryer chicken 3-pound quartered, or 3 pounds chicken breasts
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup flour
1 egg lightly beaten

Sprinkle lemon juice over chicken and turn until thoroughly moistened. Let stand 1 1/2 hours, turning pieces occasionally. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt; dip in flour and shake off excess. Dip in egg; roll in bread crumbs to coat thoroughly. In a heavy skillet, heat oil (should be 1/4 -inch deep at all times during frying).
