Push-In Pie Crust

I tried this crust for the first time today. I’ve always shied away from making my own pie crust from scratch, for some reason. But this one worked GREAT! And it’s so quick!

1-1/2 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp milk

Place flour, sugar, and salt in an 8- or 9-inch pie pan. Mix with a fork. Add oil and milk. Mix again, until all ingredients are combined. Press dough into the bottom and against the sides of the pan with your fingertips. Bake empty pie shell at 425*F for 10-12 minutes. Now it’s ready to use in your next quiche recipe, or make it a delicious dessert by filling it with pudding or fruit pie filling.

Coating Mix for Oven-Fried Chicken

Combine in a bowl:
2 cups dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp onion salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp poultry seasoning (optional)
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Blend ingredients with fork or pastry blender until well mixed. Keeps unrefrigerated in lightly covered container.

When ready to use:
Preheat oven to 350*. Put 1/2 cup coating mix in plastic or paper bag. Moisten chicken pieces with water or milk and shake one piece at a time in bag. Add more mix as needed. Lay chicken skin-side up in greased pan and bake 1 hour or until tender. No turning needed.
