Place chicken into bowl and pour over with buttermilk and marinate for 30 minutes to an hour. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup flour with parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk and roll piece in flour mixture. Reserve 3/4 cup of buttermilk and pour the remainder into a buttered shallow casserole dish. Heat shortening and butter in heavy skillet and brown chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes over medium to high heat. Place chicken on top of buttermilk in casserole dish. Strain fat from skillet into measuring cup(there should be 1/3 cup: if not add melted butter to equal 1/3 cup). Pour broth into skillet and scrape up brownings and pour around chicken. Bake uncovered at 375º until crisp and tender. Approximately 1 hour. Mix remaining flour with sugar (if using the optional sugar), baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Stir in fat and reserved buttermilk to make stiff dough. Knead lightly and roll out on floured board. Cut into 2" rings and bake in oven with chicken for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
