Anyone have the recipe for Rip's fried Chicken?

There is a tavern in the little town of Ladd, IL that serves the best friend chicken that I have ever found. (Strouds in KC is great but still not as good) They have been in business since around prohibiton and they have kept there batter and frying recipe a secret. People drive miles and stand in line for a long time just to get a paper plate with a slice of italian bread a bunch of fresh fries and a quarter of light or dark chicken. An order of dill pickle slices on the side and you are set. I know there are people out there that have worked at making a close facsimily and I would appreciate the recipe.Anyone have the recipe for Rip's fried Chicken?
