Heidi's Oven Fried Chicken...you might already have the ingredients!

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive June 2006: Heidi's Oven Fried Chicken...you might already have the ingredients!

Since some of you asked on the chicken post...here it is! I posted it online here a while ago. But, here it is again.
***I cut the amount of cornflakes and butter if I'm only feeding DH and myself and using 2 chicken breasts. I also cut the time down 5-10 minutes.***

Oven Fried Chicken
Prep: 14 minutes Cook: 45 minutes Yield: 4 servings

You might enjoy this alternative to fried chicken more than you think. The crispiness comes from a corn flake coating and a high oven temperature.

Ingredients:
3 cups corn flakes cereal, crushed (makes about 1 cup)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (2 to 3 pound) package of assorted chicken pieces, skinned
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large heavy duty, zip-top plastic bag; seal and shake well.

Dip chicken pieces in butter, 2 at a time, and place in bag. Seal and shake to coat chicken completely. Remove chicken, and repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

Place chicken on a slightly greased pan.
Sprinkle remaining corn flake crumbs over chicken pieces.
Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. Serve hot.

I posted on another thread about this Heidi, but it is DELICIOUS! You're recipe is the reason my DH eats chicken! LOL I love this stuff.

Sounds great, Heidi! I make this the same way, without the Parmesan cheese, and our family LOVES it! I'll definitely try it with the cheese because we love Parmesan!

I hope you know I was just teasing you about the Colonel Sanders thing...

LOL!! Glad your husband likes chicken now, Deanna! And, Adena, I love jokes...anything to get me to smile these days is a blessing and you did just that.

Glad to hear that, Heidi. I'm just always goofing off, and sometimes people don't always find everything as humorous as I do!

Wow, I have it all but the chicken!

Thanks, ladies! I knew I could count on you!

I have sometimes used a package of chili flavoring powder mix instead of other seasonings for oven-friend chicken. But that was when I was fixing chicken for 4 - in other words, 8-10 pieces. If I were fixing only 4 pieces, I'd use a third to half of the chili flavor mix.

I absolutely loved this recipe! Thanks Heidi!
