Chicken - Salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, dried herbs
I marinate in buttermilk for awhile after this.
Dredge - Salt, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder
That's how my grandma makes it, and she has lived in Georgia her whole life.

I can not make a home made pizza
Few months ago, attempt #1:
Bought awesome looking garlic herb pizza dough at trader joes. Contemplated how to use pizza stone, since it has to be heated up first. Decided to build pizza on a cookie sheet that had no sides, so I could slide it off onto hot pizza stone. Used shitloads of flour when pressing out dough, it still stuck like a bitch to the cookie sheet, had to cook the pizza on the cookie sheet, it was still stuck to the cookie sheet even after being cooked, and the pizza tore all to hell trying to get it off the sheet when it was done. Fail.
Attempt #2 a month or so ago:
Got same dough, decided just to build pizza on stone, then put in oven. After half an hour at 400 degrees, dough was still doughy, couldn't get it cooked all the way through without burning toppings. Note to self: have to pre-heat pizza stone. Fail
Attempt # 3, one hour ago.
Same pizza dough, after doing some research some people seem to have lots of luck with coating the pizza stone or whatever cooking surface with corn meal to prevent sticking. Pre-heated pizza stone in oven. Built pizza on sideless cookie sheet, with copious amounts of corn meal between dough and sheet. Little sticky, but pizza is movable. Great. Pulled pizza stone out, slide pizza from cookie sheet to hot pizza stone(which is also covered in corn meal). SCORE, it worked. Pizza is on stone, and I can already hear the dough sizzling.
Go to put stone back in the oven and the GODDAMN PIZZA SLID OFF THE STONE RIGHT ONTO THE OVEN RACK IN A HUGE HEAPING BALL OF DOUGH AND TOPPINGS AND THEN BROKE APART AND FELL ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN/HEATING COILS TOO.
An hour later, I'm done cleaning the oven. I have no pizza. I fucking hate everything and everyone.

Tonight I sauteed potatoes from my garden until they started getting crispy, added diced onion from my garden along with garlic from my garden, when it was done, topped it with coarsely chopped tomatoes and basil from the garden. Served it with lettuce, chives, tomatoes, and cucumbers from the garden, and steamed broccoli from the garden. Finished the meal with a raspberry ice cream made from raspberries grown beside my orchard.
And my kids ate every little bit on their plates, because they dug or picked everything, and they're excited to try it. I love getting them involved in food production from growing to cooking. They are a lot more invested in what they eat.
Sorry for what seems a bragging post. I'm just really excited about this.

I had similar issues, you need a peel. Alternatively, some great magician here told me to use parchment paper. Make the pizza on parchment paper, put the paper onto the pizza stone, win at pizza making.I can not make a home made pizza

I'm jealous. My garden project fell by the wayside because school is kicking my ass. This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted from it, though.

I make the pizza on heavy duty tin foil with olive oil rubbed on it. I preheat the oven with stone in it. When ready, I drop the pizza w/ foil onto the stone and cook for like 10 minutes. Then I pulled it out and it's usually done enough to slide off the foil and directly on to the stone to finish. Comes out great.

meh. I will get one eventually, but right now the last thing I need is yet another highly specialized piece of kitchen equipment. I'mma try it with parchment paper this weekend.
I also have no idea which kind to get. They have wood, bamboo, steel, aluminum... I AM LOST!
