Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, black pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Mix these ingredients well using your hands.

2. Coating the Chicken:

   • Place the peanut oil in a large skillet and heat it over low heat.
   • Take the chicken parts and coat them thoroughly with the flour mixture from the bowl.

3. Browning the Chicken:

   • Brown the coated chicken on each side in the preheated skillet. Make sure to achieve a golden-brown perfection for that extra flavor.

4. Oven Cooking:

   • Once the chicken is browned, cover the skillet and transfer it to a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and a half. This slow cooking method ensures a juicy and tender result.

5. Turning for Even Cooking:

   • Remember to turn the chicken on each side during the cooking process. This step ensures that the chicken cooks thoroughly, absorbing all the flavors.

6. Finishing Touch:

   • Five minutes before removing the chicken from the oven, add two tablespoons of water to the skillet. Cover it again and let it continue cooking for the remaining five minutes. This final touch ensures a succulent and moist texture.
