• In 1-gallon resealable plastic food-storage bag, mix 2 cups flour, and the ground pepper. Place large wire rack on 15x10x1-inch pan. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry on paper towels. Place chicken pieces, two at a time, in bag of seasoned flour; seal bag and shake well to lightly coat. Remove chicken and place on wire rack. Repeat with remaining chicken. Set bag of remaining seasoned flour aside. Discard brine. After chicken is coated, refrigerate uncovered at least 15 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat egg, baking powder, baking soda and mustard with wire whisk until well blended. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk and beat well until blended.

Bake 10 to 20 minutes longer or until coating is golden brown and crispy, and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs).
• As soon as chicken is in oven, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until butter stops sizzling. Add onion, brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and golden brown. (Do not rush by turning up the heat.) Remove onion from skillet, using slotted spoon; set onion aside.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the mushrooms to skillet. Cook over medium heat 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms lose some liquid and brown around edges. Add wine and quickly stir and scrape any browned bits of mushroom or onion that may be stuck to pan. Cook 3 minutes longer or until wine evaporates. Return onion to skillet and sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour and the sage over mushrooms and onion. Stir well and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
