This is probably one of those, well DUH things that you all do, but I decided to post it anyway. It may be helpful to somebody.
Back in the day, my mother would use a brown paper grocery bag to drop the chicken in when she was doing fried chicken. On one rare occasion that I was making fried chicken I remembered this. I was dreading messing up a pie pan to flour the chicken, as well as the flour mess that always "poofs" out on the counter. That's when I remembered I had been to the liquor store that day....the one here in town still uses brown paper bags. Ever since then, I've started saving them in a drawer so that when I need to flour or bread something, I'll pull out one or two. I just roll down the sides for easy access and bread away. So if you've got paper bags, save them...any size will work.
