I saw a place in South Carolina and Georgia called Maryland Fried Chicken, but since when are we renowned for our chicken? It's always been crabs from the Chesapeake and Old Bay.

BAKED CHICKEN MARYLAND
1 lg. frying chicken (I use chicken breasts, legs & thighs)
1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. finely chopped green pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
2 tbsp. finely chopped celery
5 tbsp. oil
2 slices bacon
1 c. water
Cut chicken in serving pieces (if using whole chicken); roll in flour. Heat oil in pan and brown chicken. Place browned chicken in baking dish. Pour water into the frying pan and boil for 2 minutes. Add the celery and green pepper. Pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and paprika and top with the bacon. Cover and bake slowly (325 degree oven) for 1 1/4 hours. Inspect frequently and add more water if the chicken seems dry.
