Set it aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Dip chicken pieces 1 piece at a time as follows:
Into dry coating mix.
Into egg and water mix.
Into corn flakes.
Briskly but briefly back into dry mix.
Drop into hot oil, skin-side-down and brown 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high.
Turn and brown other side of each piece.
Don't crowd pieces during frying.
Place in prepared pan in single layer, skin-side up.
Seal with foil, on 3 sides only, leaving 1 side loose for steam to escape.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes removing foil then to test tenderness of chicken.
Allow to bake uncovered 5 minutes longer to crisp the coating.
Leftovers refrigerate well up to 4 days.
Do not freeze these leftovers.
