In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, salt, paprika, dried oregano, rubbed sage, and pepper.
-
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and water together.
-
Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Place a few chicken pieces at a time into the bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake it gently until the chicken is thoroughly coated with the seasoned flour mixture.
-
In an electric skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil to 375°F (190°C).

Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Once fried, transfer the chicken pieces to two ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pans.

Bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear.
