Keep the flavor but cut down on the fat and sodium with this oven-fried chicken recipe. A welcome addition to your next family meal or potluck.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Milk, non-fat, or buttermilk
  • 1 tsp Poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp Cornflakes, crumbled
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tsp Hot pepper dried crushed
  • 1 tsp Ginger ground
  • 4 oz Chicken breasts, skinless
  • 4 oz Chicken drumsticks, skinless
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil to grease baking pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning to milk.
  3. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning and all other spices (except paprika) with cornflake crumbs and place in a plastic bag.
  4. Dip chicken into milk, shake to remove excess, then quickly shake in bag with seasoning and crumbs.
  5. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  6. Remove from refrigerator and sprinkle lightly with paprika for color.
  7. Evenly space chicken on greased baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 30 to 40 minutes or until the meat can be easily pulled away form the bone with a fork. The drumsticks may require less baking time than the breasts. Crumbs will form a crispy "skin." (Do not turn chicken during baking.)
